Thanks for noticing. I'm trying to make your phrase popular out here.  It will take a bit though.  You'll know I've succeeded when you see it on a simpsons ep. laughing-smiley-017.gif
And as for the rest of this thread... holy shit.  i missed all this.  For some reason when I checked it yesterday and posted my "nectar" comment, I was responding to the latest post, yet today, i see my response is like way way after all the good stuff.  Don't know what happened there.  I'd have had so much to say in the middle of it all, but it's already moot. 

Okay.  I gotta go pretend to work again. smile.gif

Keep on the Nectar bandwagon mate!!!

As for all the shit, I said what I had to say and im pretty sure most people see him for who he is. I took the measure of ignoring him so I wouldnt even be tempted to continue to read his dribble... it's a pretty easy and effective tool grinning-smiley-003.gif

Tooo much shit.....toooo fucking funny......

After reading through much muck slinging, MY post, whether anybody gives a shit or not, but hey it's a "FORUM" so I'm allowed, is simply this:

3D  you're an asshole.  Straight up.  You came in and seemed like you were all right till you got caught up in a BS story.  Since then it's been nothing but trying to slam back at the guys who caught ya. 

deal with it. Move on. 

I'm done.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Okay. I'm going to summarize this thread because I need to post my very own rant

1) Closeup, I give you lots of credit for trying to blast your way into the technological age, but I hope you don't take offense to my non-surprise at the lack cooperation from an electronic device after your use... unless, of course, closeup4 is the one using the device... He was pretty sharp.

2) Gnappy, good job on finding reveiws. While I did not even click on the link, I'm sure they'd be very useful for one of the many closeups out there.

3) the most important you mentioned, closeup, in this entire segment is that you live next door to a University... so, um, pics??? ohmy.gif

4) I don't mean pics of the university, I mean pics of the female students. smile.gif

Okay. here's MY rant!!!

I have 6 static IP addresses at work. I use one of them to run my own email server. well, all of a sudden I'm having problems with return DNS when sending email to a student I'm stalking at Columbia University. I call my ISP to get the issue resolved and I find out that they decided to change my static IP addresses. They said I put in a change request sometime last week. Um, yeah, whatever. why the fuck would I do that???? that defeats the purpose of having a STATIC IP address!

So after making about 10 phone calls to automated voice near-recognition bullshit numbers, I finally get through to the tech dept. then after 10 minutes of BS there, I finally get to the level 2 tech guy who knows WTF a static IP address is. We almost get the issue resolved to where I have my old IP addresses assigned to me again. After about 40 minutes of talking to that guy, we get disconnected.

so i call back and no one knows the guy I talked to last time. So I'm stuck talking to Sszawanjumal, who goes by the alias Alan, who claims he is a level 2 tech. I've never begged so hard to find out if there was a level 3 guy. laughing-smiley-017.gif so after 1 hour and 20 minutes I've spent about 90% of that time on hold, he's asked me to clarify the problem about 3 times, my bladder is nearing capacity. at first he came on the line every 5 minutes to thank me for my patience and see if I wouldn't mind continuing to hold. I told him he didn't have to keep doing that... he then switched to every 10 minutes. after a total of 1 hour and 40 minutes on that phone call, he tells me he almost has the problem resolved, but he needs to check with the rep next to him cuz his computer is not responding properly (they probably just changed is IP address without him knowing).

In case anyone was wondering, he still really appreciates my patience. I just peed my pants.

I'm ready to fucking scream!!!

That's the problem with big "help" centres. Sometimes you get someone who is actually helpful but most of the time you get one of the people who supposedly has the same amount of training but is more like a level .5 tech.

BTW, why do you run your own email server?

So after making about 10 phone calls to automated voice near-recognition bullshit numbers, I finally get through to the tech dept.  then after 10 minutes of BS there, I finally get to the level 2 tech guy who knows WTF a static IP address is.  We almost get the issue resolved to where I have my old IP addresses assigned to me again.  After about 40 minutes of talking to that guy, we get disconnected. 

so i call back and no one knows the guy I talked to last time.  So I'm stuck talking to Sszawanjumal, who goes by the alias Alan, who claims he is a level 2 tech.  I've never begged so hard to find out if there was a level 3 guy. laughing-smiley-017.gif  so after 1 hour and 20 minutes I've spent about 90% of that time on hold, he's asked me to clarify the problem about 3 times, my bladder is nearing capacity.  at first he came on the line every 5 minutes to thank me for my patience and see if I wouldn't mind continuing to hold.  I told him he didn't have to keep doing that... he then switched to every 10 minutes. after a total of 1 hour and 40 minutes on that phone call, he tells me he almost has the problem resolved, but he needs to check with the rep next to him cuz his computer is not responding properly (they probably just changed is IP address without him knowing).

In case anyone was wondering, he still really appreciates my patience.  I just peed my pants.

I'm ready to fucking scream!!!

That's the problem with big "help" centres. Sometimes you get someone who is actually helpful but most of the time you get one of the people who supposedly has the same amount of training but is more like a level .5 tech.

BTW, why do you run your own email server?

because, contrary to popular belief, you can't just pee in your pants and be the coolest, you have to pee your pants AND run your own email server.

it's a long story so I'll spare you ALL the details cuz that tech help BS really put me back (issue is all resolved now and I've got it all working again, but I do have lots of work to do before I can leave for the day)

Anyway... when I first got high-speed Internet when I lived at my parents', I thought it'd be fun to have my own domain name and use an email client rather than put up with the irritation known as AOL (is that COL for you?? laughing-smiley-017.gif ) . So I registered one. Well, turns out you have to host it and then register it and all this other crap. Turns out I had a friend who had his own Internet company and some pretty crazy servers and kickass connection and stuff like that. So he hosted it for me. Well, he ended up leaving the company he started and shortly thereafter the company continued with the plans he started and upgraded all the servers and they got the equivalent of a T3 line in there. That meant all the IP addresses changed and I lost my email. coincidentally, I was looking at getting faster Internet at work and came across a deal for really fast speeds and static IPs. so I convinced my dad that that's what we needed and voila, I had my own static IP address to run an email server... we also had an old computer that I was able to orphan for use as an email server. so I now host my own domain name for about 5 dollars a year. Not too bad. In so doing, I have zero limits on file size or inbox capacity. I can also sign up any of my friends I want. and if I'm feeling psycho enough, I can read other people's email and see if they have any hot pictures attached. It works out well, cuz it's easier than doing hotmail or gmail and I can make all the accounts I need.

so that's teh short version, believe it or not. aren't ya glad you asked.

Let me know if you want your own email address... just be sure to have some pictures of hot naked girls in your inbox so I can hack into your account and check them out. grinning-smiley-003.gif

oh, yeah, that email server can also be used to host a website. but since I have only a DSL connection, my upload speeds are slow... meaning anyone downloading information from a website hosted here would be irritated by the slowness. that effect isn't even noticed with the email, though.

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.

Thanks Gnappy, I just finished reading all the reveiws. I don't think I'm off track by saying it's quite a mixed bag. The guys who write these reveiws are supposedly pros and even they had a hard time making it work. The one guy who said it works great if you're willing to make alot of corrections misses the point completely. Making corrections is time consuming and counter-productive. The whole idea from my point of veiw is to handle a receipt once, then never deal with it as a piece of paper again. Thanks for going to the trouble of providing those links. I owe you one.
