Computer Reporter and The Complete Genealogy Reporter Software for Windows

The Complete Genealogy Reporter
$27.95 - Nigel Bufton Software

Create comprehensive narrative GEDCOM reports, books, and web folders (in English or German) with fully cross-referenced texts, notes, media, and family tree diagrams. The Complete Genealogy Reporter can incorporate all cousins, aunts, uncles, and indirect relationships via marriage, for any individual in your GEDCOM file.

The user interface is a simple four-step wizard-style process which reads a GEDCOM file and generates a report to a PDF file, a printer, or a text file (proof-reading draft).

Report options offer the inclusion of indirect relations through marriage, image media, and notes. In addition to the fully cross-referenced narrative sections, The Complete Genealogy Reporter can produce four-generation family tree diagrams as part of the report.

Two-sided printed book options are available to alternate the left and right margin indentations and page headings.

The output is formatted as free-flowing text which is easily comprehended by readers with no computer or genealogical knowledge. The narrative includes relationship descriptions (e.g., first cousin, once removed, by marriage), and comprehensive date processing and age calculations.

Personal Timeclock
$24.95 - KMR Consulting

Do you use your computer for business as well as pleasure? Then Personal Timeclock can save you money at tax time! Do you use your computer to do work on behalf of clients? Then Personal Timeclock can help you bill your clients accurately. Do you have employees that use computers? Personal Timeclock can keep track of their time, too.

Personal Timeclock is a Windows 95/98/NT4/2000/ME/XP program that keeps track of time you've spent on your computer. Time is charged to one or more "projects" that you've chosen by "punching in" when you begin work on each project. In addition, projects may be grouped into different "categories" (e.g. business and pleasure) of your choice. To give one example, you can create a category for each of your clients, and a project for each different type of work you perform. To keep track of your time, simply click on the proper project when you begin working on it. If you wish, you can add a memo to further describe your work. You can also add an hourly rate to each project and category and include the amount on reports.

Personal Timeclock Reporter produces detail reports, which list the specifics of your work, and summary reports, which summarize your work by project and by category. Both types of reports can be customized to show exactly the data you want. For example, if you categorize your projects as business and non-business, the summary report will give the hours and percentage of time spent in each category. This is the figure that you need for IRS form 4562 Depreciation and Amortization, lines 24c and 25c. In addition, you can answer "Yes" on line 23b which asks whether you have written evidence to support the claimed business use: this may reduce the chances that your return will be selected for audit. [The line numbers were from 2000 tax forms, and may differ in later years.]

There are other time manager programs, but Personal Timeclock is simple (so simple that you won't mind using it),and it does the job well.
