not to be too pedantic Dean, but I suspect that wasn't handwriting

My handwriting has always been bad. In college my class notes were in a mix of printing and my own brand of cursive. The cursive letter forms we all learned in school just aren't natural for lefties.

Now my printing is illegible to anyone but me. I'm sure it's just because I do it so rarely. I rarely pick up a pen except to sign my name or write an item on my grocery list.

Good thing about being a math/physics major is it's mostly numbers and a few letters.

My wife has math/economics majors with almost an IT minor (give us the money and we'll make it official).

My handwriting isn't all that good, my typing in improving, my printing is OK. The payroll checks are a combination of writing and printing as we have 5 employees (it doesn't pay at this stage to have the checks printed by accountant).

Try Peachtree accounting for your payroll/bookkeeping needs. The employees will get nice printed checks.

Easy program, not too expensive, I've been using it for years.

I find that in do both cursive and printing together. My cursive is about the same as it was in HS, not that you could read it back then either.

I have that problem on golf scorecards.
I can write it while I'm on the course without glasses , but when I try and read it when I'm done I have to have the reading glasses.

My handwriting is fairly good when I want it to be, I had a very strict teacher that insisted her sole aim in life was to make my then "chicken scratch" into something legible. I am naturally ambidextrous, which bothered Mrs. Allen to no end, so she tied my left arm to my side to force me to use only my right hand. I spent countless days writing upper and lower case letters on chalk boards and lined paper. Of course after school I reverted back to writing with both hands.
