released? |
1988 |

| What do I get for my purchase? |
An installation CD, a 350 page printed manual,
and technical support for the calendar year of publication. |
|
|
| Is the price on the web site? Why? |
Yes, because it's
the most reasonable you can buy. |
No--we want you to call (it's expensive). |
Ditto. |
| What cash flows do you support? |
Fixed rate, zero interest, negative
amortization, variable rate, variable payment, leases, month to month rent. |
|
|
| What don't you support? |
Rule of 78s, Canadian interest, revolving
credit card type loans with no regular payment amount |
|
|
| What technical support is included? |

toll free fax support for
the calendar year; phone support is not available at our low
prices |
|
|
| What is the cost of NoteSmith maintenance each year? |
The older program
will run indefinitely so annual maintenance is
optional. Support for a new year, plus a CD to print the
newly due IRS forms, is about $200. |
|
|
| What operating systems are supported? |
NoteSmith is designed specifically to run
under Windows95, 98, ME,
2000, and XP, Vista, and Windows7. Terminal Server, Citrix,
and VPN
are not supported.
NT4 can be used with a free patch. |
|
|
| Where is my data stored? |
On your own hard disk in standard data base files, which are fully
compatible with Microsoft Office 2010 and back to 2000 |
|
|
| You mean a connection to the internet is not
required? |
That's right, but we make good use of it if
you do have a connection |
|
|
| How
can you price this program so reasonably? |
Why is everyone else so expensive? |
|
|
| Why is even your network
version so reasonable? |
NoteSmith
was written for networks and simplified for single users,
rather than the other way around. |
