    Hmm... working at a bank seems to me a good thing. Not all business is bad business. What's wrong? Anyways, I was being more specific towards accounting, inventory, sales management... that type of software.

    Well so far I've logged over ten hours on this. The work is kind of boring, but I've discovered that I really like GUI programming. Nothing I've done with this so far has been very challenging though. Although it's actually kind of nice to let my mind relax a little doing something like this, after spending so much time doing 3D stuff.

    I'm going to show what I have to the boss this weekend, to make sure I'm going in the right direction before I go any farther. Although I really have left to do is spreadsheet printing and database storage. Hopefully then I'll get an indication of how much I'm going to make on this.
