Cynical responce: sounds like she wants to convert you or have your job
outsourced to her.



According to one of my drinking/cigar smoking buddies -- a fomer big eight (or however many there are now) accountant now managing his own firm -- accountants don't like the Intuit stuff either -- they're just stuck having to work with it.
