Printwiser Estimating 9.0 Flexible Estimate Spreadsheet upgrade
Posted by admin on 2022-04-16 11:17:52 in Announcements (561 views)
Introducing, the Printwiser Estimating 9.0 Flexible Estimate Spreadsheet upgrade, effective April 11, 2022. It features what most estimators have probably been wishing for, the ability to combine the estimate summary and detailed working sheets into one simple spreadsheet format, one that readily exports to a spreadsheet file. Not only that, you get the option to choose just the columns to show in the spreadsheet. Another useful feature is being able to set up access shortcut to standalone backup databases and copy estimates to and fro directly. November 2022 In Brief

Selected quotes from "The Negotiator"

An overview and compilation of selected quotes from the best-selling work of Frederick Forsyth: Following the visits of their leaders to each other, an arms reduction treaty is hammered out between the US and USSR. It would lead to reduction in military spending with savings amounting to hundreds of billions of dollars. It will also lead to the bankruptcy of some defense industries, especially in the US where investments has been tied up in the manufacture of advanced weapons. A group of five Americans conspire to force the American President to resign, by kidnapping and murdering his only son, but making it look like the Soviets are responsible. This is to prevent the arms reduction treaty from coming into effect. ‘… there are four kinds of kidnapper. … amateurs … plan badly… They can usually be located. … the maniacs … want nothing material; they kill for fun. … the fanatics, political or religious … filled with hate for the Establishment and therefore for their victim, who comes from it. … The professional criminal… They want money…’ July 2022 In Brief

One of the rare cases when the HIDDEN game streak computation in Gerian was wrong was spotted, after the first game of the day spilled—due to a break of several hours—into another local day (though same day at SFI). It was fixed, and the computation also speeded up. Needed revisions were made to two modules of MoneyBooks, Sales and General Ledger. Are your Zingo wins profitable or not?

An overview and compilation of selected quotes from the best-selling work of Frederick Forsyth, highlighting some Ukrainian freedom fighters that projected a future breakdown of the Soviet Union: ‘One day, maybe not too long from now, the Russian empire will begin to crack. One day soon, the Romanians will exercise their patriotism, and the Poles and Czechs. Followed by the Germans and Hungarians. And the Balts and Ukrainians, the Georgians and Armenians. The Russian empire will crack and crumble, the way the Roman and British empires cracked, because at last the arrogance of their mandarins became insufferable…’ May 2022 In Brief
