EOK in the news

On the front page of the business section of today's News Sentinel is a column by Carly Harringon about the slow economy. It mentions EOK and has a couple of quotes by Leo Knight. It is worth a read and the link is listed below:

Looking for Quickbooks expert

We are very close to having moved our company (SensorMed) over to Quickbooks. However, there are a few items that we can't quite figure out. Are there any Quickbooks experts out there? Based on the hours we have already put into it, iI think it would only take another hour or so to finish things up. If anyone knows of a Quickbooks guru, please let us know.

Thanks,
William Milam
