I just uploaded to my profile the photo of a Lacerte mouse pad that I keep in my office. It's pretty much the only free thing that I got from Lacerte over the years.
Does anyone remember (or still have) the same mouse pad?
It shows I'm a long-time Lacerte customer. Also shows I'm OLD....

My first year doing taxes was 1997 for 1996 returns, so our office was already switched to Windows Lacerte. But every once in a while in those early years, I'd have to open a DOS year and figure out how to navigate around.

I remember having one of those. I started with Lacerte their 2nd year on a Kaypro 10 CP/M "Luggable" computer. When the IBM PC came out we had to buy some software to convert the CP/M disk format to IBM disk format. Ahhh! Those were the days of two Lacerte brothers trying to make their mark. I remember a user from Petaluma CA did a cut and paste of the various input sheets to make a single input sheet for K-1. Lacerte picked up that idea and ran with it. All of this was back when all input was batch input.
Lacerte also had a heads down accounting program. Enter AMOUNT and CODE. When you were done you clicked process - went to lunch and hoped it was done marinating the data by the time you got back.
I still have that Kaypro 10. I wonder if it will still boot up?
I may be older than old.
Please, please, please tell me you still use Lotus 123...
RE: I may be older than old.
Staff buzzed me on the phone: An older man is waiting for you in the lobby.
Later, she buzzed me again: An old man is waiting for you in the lobby
That was when I wonder why old is older than older...
