Huzzah!!!  My CC bill tells me the two numbers, and I have no idea what
rounding rules they apply, and the wire transfer people do some other
thing...

One of the things I'd like to have on the reconcilliation page is the ability
to enter per-transaction fees (including monthly fees and interest).  So that
if I invoice $1000, and I'm paid by wire-transfer, I usually get $992.50.
So I wind up entering a bank transaction fee of $7.50, which is fine, but I
wish I could do it in one place, and associate the two things.  It also gets
messier if there is an FX involved as well, and sometimes the 7.50 is in the
FX...

:-) :-) :-)
I resemble that remark.

Woohoo!!!!
I also have some javascript totals that I'd like to add.
My struggle in getting up to 1.4.12 was in part so that I could run closer to
bleeding edge, so that when I patch something for myself, it will be easier
to push upstream.

I also would love to have a G+ screen share to learn how you guys are doing
testing...
