U stole my answer

that's funny... cuz as it turns out, I stole my answer.

Thank goodness for Steve Allen.

I steal alot of lines from a book i bought, "How to cook Steve Allen"

There must be some space dust on that book, cuz I always thought it was titled, How to cook for Steve Allen.

I've only read Happiness is a naked Steve Allen

There's more dust, it's titled, "How to cook forty Steve Allen"



Ohhhhhh good book

Wait a minute, here's more space dust. It's titled "how to cook for forty Steve Allen"

We offered you paradise. You would have experienced emotions
a hundred times greater than what you call fun. But because of your distrustful nature, that will never be.

Good one Lisa

I had to look this up to get it just right...

Lisa, see what we mean when we say you're too smart for your own good?

Haha yeah I couldn't remember it either... one of the original Kang and Kodos introductions...

What are we ranting about again?

what's a rant?

Did he just say whats a rant?

I did

Stupid cold.

Well played, both of you

Don't buy a "Neat Receipt" Scanalizer. I just got mine and it's pretty a worthless piece of shit. After following all the installation instruction, I scanned my first receipt to try to figure out how it was going to work. It was a toll receipt for $1.50. On the first scan thru it came out as $50.00. I couldn't figure out where that came from because nowhere on the receipt was a 50. So I called customer service. The "helper" tells me, "Well, it's never going to be 100% accurate." So I scan the same receipt three more times. $1.51, twice and $1.50 once. Scanned itself under "Fuel" "Retail" and "Groceries". WTF? This thing is supposed to be acceptable with the I.R.S. I wanted to teach myself how to use it, assigning files, etc, so I'd be using my computer for more than just looking at tits. Well, it's going to be figured out by my assistent, and if she doesn't have an easier time correcting all the mistakes it makes, then it's going back. This thing looked great on paper and in theory it's just what I need. In reality, it easier to do the work with a pencil and paper.

thay have said those things work great , is there more then one company selling them ?

Just go with the tried and true, "Costanza Wallet"


What's the point, rmm makes owning a computer more than viable.

Not that I've seen. And I looked. I bought mine on EBAY and still almost paid full retail price. Four scans and it only read it right once? I've got so many receipts this year I thought this thing would be a miracle worker in getting my taxes done. . I was going to have all the receipts scanned, put on a disc, then sent over to my accountant. Now that I think about it, I think I'll try to find a collage student or housewife who wants to earn some extra cash, give them this peice of shit to figure out, then get a disc back from them. It would cost me a fortune to pay my assistent to make this project work. I'm pissed, I'd really like to shove this thing right up the inventors ass.

Did you read any online reviews on it first. Did anyone else have problems with it.

well dont blame ya doing taxes sucks bad enough , but even worse when things that are suppose to work dont , you know like employees ...

Most of what I read was the promotional stuff the company put out. I guess I didn't do enough homework on this purchase. I did successfully scan a few business cards and it worked okay there. But that's not what I bought it for. I guess I sort of figured that if it's output was accepted as proof for the I.R.S, it had to be accurate. It'll work, but with alot of corrections ie, time and attention to details. I already know how long it takes to do by hand, for a lot of years I used to do my own taxes. I don't have much use for anything that's slower than I can do by hand. Oh well, like I said, I'll find someone who wants to earn some extra cash, and put them to work. Any takers? If I could box this whole kit and kaboddle and make it disappear, I'd be a happy man.

I'll take that as a no

What did you say your bank account number was again?

I think he said it was g 756 6977 -2

I'll do it for you.


Although I can't guarantee you won't wind up in jail.

whats he doing for ya again ?

What do want an hour? I'm going to call my accountant and see if she has any ideas. I want to make sure the format I use is exactly the one that will work on the program she uses on my books. I'll probably have to code every receipt to make sure it goes into the right expense category. This thing was suppose to be able to be "taught" the right category, but if it can't even scan it right, what are the chances it can file it right. I live right next door to a university, there's gotta be some work/study student who can find time to fuck with this. If I can't, I'll ship all this crap to you, spend my time in jail, and still be happy.

yeah just think of all the sex Youll get in prison , they say not a day goes by !!!

I'm SUPPOSED to be working here but what the hell:
I looked up some reviews and couldn't really find a bad one.
This guy's is pretty in depth and he even seems to have had the same problem with a weird number coming from nowhere(in his case $61.00).
I didn't read the whole thing but it might have some pointers.
