Howdy... I saw a new tax accountant today who was highly recommended to me by the dealer I do subcontract work for. Indeed he is very aggressive and really rolled up his sleeves. After lengthy discussion on business expenses, income, etc., he says that I could probably safely purchase up to about 12K before the end of the year and get a 100% deduction as a business expense. "Wow" I said. This is not to say that it is "free money" in the sense that if I spend it the government pays for it, rather it's just that in my current situation "IF" I can afford to spend a little money right now he can take full advantage of it for me as a total tax right off. This afternoon I took my first step in that direction and bought a beautiful new notebook computer fully loaded. Since I still technically have a substancial amount I could spend I thought I might consider the Rayburn program, (I'm currently using the SAT II and happy with it but heck there maybe an advantage here). I have a couple of questions which have already probably been rehashed a million times on this list but since it has never applied/interested me up until now I've always opted to use my delete key at will. 1. How much does the program cost these days? 2. Of those who have used BOTH, (I'm talking to these folks specifically mind you not just anyone with an opinion and endless tangents), which did you prefer, the SAT III or the Rayburn for EVERYDAY in and out tunings? I could just as well spend money on an SAT III instead so both deserve consideration. I'm not completely sold on the Verituner yet so I'm not including that in the equation. I could also also very well buy neither at this point because I have a lot of very expensive shop equipment I would like to purchase too and money is limited. I just wanted to hear, (briefly) what folks think and put it on my consideration list. Rob Goodale, RPT Las Vegas, NV
