"Well-well look. I already told you: I deal with the god damn customers so the engineers don't have to. I have people skills; I am good at dealing with people. Can't you understand that? What the hell is wrong with you people?"

Because it's webex ... sigh ...

At least it's not Google Hangouts. That crap platform will kill any laptop battery in ~30-45 min flat and make it seem like you're rendering some 8K video.

I say go for it. Sounds like you've got an itch to scratch :)

Exactly what I came to ask, because I have at least a handful of vendors (perhaps more) that I have to key in across multiple categories.

Rules cannot be applied to these transactions. For the obvious ones, I already have automatic rules build right into QuickBooks Online.

What is different here?

It's ok, AT&T has been aggressively rolling out their fiber service in San Antonio the past year and it's quite good!

Same $70/mo, no data mining, no data caps, no equipment rental fee...and a cool 930-940 Mbps bi-directional...I'm happy :)

Fair enough -- I like your style :)

In the early 2000's there was the "original AT&T", a separate wireless company called AT&T Wireless, then Cingular who was the wireless group/division of SBC (Southwestern Bell) and SBC themselves.

Consolidation started with Cingular buying AT&T Wireless. Then SBC bought AT&T and simply kept the AT&T brand. Eventually the Cingular brand went away and they went back to AT&T and AT&T Wireless.

Wheeeee! The AT&T of today is basically SBC with all the old assets rolled in. SBC bought AT&T, not the other way around.

Surprised no one mentioned this already. I was a KS backer for Kung Fury and pretty sure that Blood Dragon gave them some "inspiration". Love them both!

Kickstarter backer here...and sadly, yes. As far as I can tell anyways. Never received anything that actually worked :(
