<div><br /></div>
<div>Sorry to hear about your EAGLE frustrations.</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>As for your question on tools, I would like to suggest you take a look at AirTable (<a href="https://airtable.com/">https://airtable.com</a>). It is a very powerful combination of a CRM tool, a spreadsheet and a database. I am using it to track my deployed units and the maintenance renewal dates as well as key customer contacts.</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>Hope this helps,</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>Chip</div>

I want to the first on this list to congratulate Autodesk for following<br />
Best Practices of Skuzzy Corporations (tm) by forsaking backward<br />
compatibility in return for a brighter and better future of scrambling<br />
the icon positions, changing group operation semantics without proper<br />
documentation, and keeping secret any "legacy" mechanisms for those who<br />
want to schedule their UI transitions.<br />
<br />
FYI: The reference Eagle files for the Arduino Nano will not open with<br />
versions 8 or 9, but work OK with 7.7.<br />

Guys and Gals,<br />
??? I find myself realizing if I don't line up and start using some<br />
simple tools real soon my accountant is going to tell me to go jump in a<br />
lake this winter.<br />
<br />
??? What do you use to track your time, generate and manage estimates,<br />
contracts, invoices, capture expense records, track work time attributed<br />
to specific projects, travel mileage, etc? Whatever you send me I'll<br />
compile into a page off the "RESOURCES" web site menu if the guru<br />
managing the TriEmbed site doesn't insist on doing it.<br />
?? Notice "reply" will just to go me: this list doesn't follow the<br />
relatively recent "reply becomes replay-all" trend. If you do that I<br />
promise to feed back, while with "reply all" or "reply to list" I'll<br />
consider myself off the hook as far as specific attribution in a summary<br />
back to the list (which I'll do independent of the above resources thing).<br />
<br />
Best Regards,<br />

Well, I guess it depends on how much business one has.<br />
When I was doing freelance work I just used a spreadsheet and made my own<br />
invoices.<br />
