Happy Holidays!

Welcome to the latest issue of the IDNAC Newsletter.  It has certainly been a busy month what with the Sleeter Conference, the realease of QuickBooks 2006, the Bybee Consulting Conference, and of course we must not forget the holidays!   I'm sure most of us feel like we are on "information overload".   Time to sit back, relax for a moment with your favorite beverage and see what we have been up to.
We would like to thank Doug Sleeter and members of the Intuit Accountant Team for taking time out from their busy schedules to share their thoughts with us about the best features of QuickBooks 2006.

Email Etiquette - Manners & Tone
When we stop to think about it, communication between humans is approximately 90% body language, 8% tone of voice and the final 2% what you actually have to say.  With email, you remove the first 98%.  To discover how to compensate for this lack of human intervention, click here.
