Don't Wirt & Co prepare tax returns as one part of their business? I would
assume he would therefore know which end of the pencil to sharpen, having
addressed these very issues before more than once.

In fact, I seem to recall Wirt suggesting that one could actually prepare a
tax return by hand, a task which I assume is akin to making brick without
straw, in what I took to be an ironic throwback to the days when hp made an
early information appliance known as "a handheld calculator" (not to be
confused with a Palm Pilot(tm)(c)). The only thing I did find disappointing
in this thread was Wirt's statement that one could take the average of three
resale values, instead of simply taking the highest one, and running the
other two thru the Enron long-term storage device and confetti maker.

That's it for now, I'm late for my debate club's evening with the Monte Hall
dilemma, after which, I have a W2K server to replicate. I plan to ftp the
necessary files without doing anything else to validate their transfer.
