Hi Sussie,

My compter crashed last night and I had to buy a new computer but sadly I did not have my Quicken backed up and it was on my desktop. Everything on my desktop was lost and only the Documents and Photos could be salvaged so I must figure my numbers by hand in the next 2 weeks before my tax appointment. I am just sick.
