You do have to know a certain amount
of marketing, and it helps to be familiar with accounting, although I own a
nifty little software package that handles most of that for me and a friend
who helps with my taxes.

I would write directly to Bonni (Hi Bonni), but I'm sure others would like to
know the software package name too--I imagine I'm fairly representative of
those who prefer character strings to numerical accounting strings (no putdown
of math, here, just arithmetic!), and could use all the help I can get!
