GF: It's been a couple of years since I started using GC, and I haven't
yet.  However I may in the future.  Plus, I'm worried it might be an audit
liability, having some record of items marked taxable for which I collect
no tax.  Just another thing to have to explain or take heat for in case I'm
audited.

​GF:  Well I've been using GC for a while now and my only complaint are
these little UI smoothness issues.  I'd like it a bunch if this were fixed
up, but all-in-all, the program works great and suits my needs.  ​As I lurk
on this list, I see people getting help with much bigger problems, heh,
actual problems, not fussy UI issues.  All you developers keep up the good
work.  I'll turn this into a enhancement request and maybe it'll come true
some day.

Kind regards,
