Interesting. Our loan is now in closing and documents will be available tomorrow, so we can't close until Monday? :confused: Doesn't make any sense to me, but I suppose progress is progress. :-:

I took a trip out to Bethlehem and mostly like their setup out there. Table machines in lieu of proper tables was interesting. I'm not sure what AC needs to do though, aren't the operators of the casinos the same folks that operate them in AC?

I'll take "Street Meat vendor's nightmare on the Queen St. Mall in Brizzy" for $1,000 Alex. :o

Actually, in taking a closer look at that picture, it looks like there were some consumers that day.

With PA getting table games and likley Delaware too AC needs to do something to draw people in. They really should try to capitlize on the shore being right there.

Which is just a shame. I work hard to make sure stuff goes smoothly; why can't others?

Use OpenOffice or such to open the second, then you can actually work on both?

I didn't get the worksheet until the day before closing and then noticed inaccuracies in the computations :rolleyes:

Loading additional software on this overburdened laptop is not a good idea. I thought about using Google Docs but I don't really want to upload proprietary data to Google since we compete head to head with one of their offerings and I don't want them to have the info. :-:

Yeah, I suppose that might be an upside of having to wait until Monday to close; I'll be able to go over it carefully this weekend and ensure everything is calculated correctly.

Because it isn't their money?

I'm confused on Step 3, despite gnomes telling me Step 2 should be problematic.
