| Editor's Note |
|
  It seems like just yesterday we were having cookouts, taking family vacations, and basking in the summer sun. Alas, the grill has been tucked in the back of the garage, photographs are the only proof of that vacation, and swimsuits and flip-flops have been replaced with gloves and scarves.
As 2010 winds down, our thoughts turn to a new year. In an effort to make your 2011 more successful, this edition of In the Zone includes ways to improve productivity and add clients by improving the technology your firm employs. Also included: a list of gadgets to add to your holiday list, a chance to win Lacerte Tax or ProSeries Tax for a year, and an article about QuickBooks 2010 enhancements that has been popular with readers.
Sincerely,
Bill Grabarek
