For those who are on now on the hunt for software, try

As the list grows longer, the complixity and the learning curve get steeper,
and the likelihood of a hidden, but serious entry or computational error
grows.

Relying on software can be fatal to your business.  Read about "Excel hell"
and "Spread Dread" at http://tinyurl.com/c98e5 . I used compters for record
keeping for many years, but found that I preferred to make up small modules
that began and ended on paper.  When data went from one stage to another, it
was never permitted to do so without a personal audit.

That is not to say that a system that does everything would not be an ideal
solution, but, I'd like to add error detection and trapping, and easy
auditing for anomalies to the wish list.
