Of course we will have our famous Dragon sculptures made entirely from scrap metal and our Scrap Dragon hats and t-shirts to give away. Even if you aren't in the market for anything new, stop by and say hello. We'd love to meet you face to face and listen to your ideas for making Scrap Dragon even better. |

"Late last week, the House of Representatives passed HR-4, the Small Business Paperwork Mandate Elimination Act of 2011 that would repeal the burdensome IRS reporting requirement to report all transactions of $600 or more during a calendar year that were included in the healthcare law passed last year. HR-4 was introduced by Congressman Dan Lundgren (R-CA) who has been a steady proponent of repeal since it was enacted into law. Mr. Lungren's bill is a simple repeal of the provision that does not contain any budget "pay-fors" or ways to pay for the approximately $19B the 1099 reporting provision was expected to raise. The legislation will now go to the Senate for consideration. However, the Senate already passed their own repeal bill that did provide a funding source. Consequently, the two Chambers will have to either accept one version or the other or negotiate a compromise. Otherwise, there will not be a bill that can be sent to the President for his signature. In earlier Leadership Updates, I described this scenario where the House would pass a "clean" repeal bill while the Senate would instead provide funding for the lost revenue. Accordingly, we expect now that HR-4 has passed and both Houses have made their respective political statements, the leaders will begin working towards some sort of compromise." |

We have added the ability to print the Account Manager name on the scale tickets. In Contract Maintenance, the contracts are now listed in descending Contract Number order. In Packing List Maintenance, on the details by tag tab, the packs are now listed in ascending pack number order. The 2 section tickets and cashier receipts now summarize the dollar value of each material instead of showing the dollar value of each line. The weights are still shown for each individual line. Jpegger can now be configured to display the last image captured. |

In December, Transact Payment
Systems moved into a new 24,000 square foot building located at 7100
30th Ave. North, St Petersburg, Florida 33710. The new facility will
function as the corporate headquarters and includes state of the art
offices, warehouse, data center and testing facilities. 
We have received the following
information from ISRI regarding the 1099 law which is scheduled to take
effect in 2012:
We
still have a few Panasonic Toughbook Wireless Monitors available. These
cool little handheld devices are discontinued and our supply is dwindling.
Much smaller and lighter than the wireless computers that have replaced
them, they work well with Scrap Dragon and are durable enough for use
in a scrap yard. Unfortunately, Panasonic has phased them out and in
fact will not be releasing a driver for use with the Windows 7 operating
system. Consequently, we are closing out our remaining supply of new
units at 40% off the $2,000 list price. We also have a few lightly used
'demo' units available for 50% off. For more info, download the 
Purchase report 31 - we have
added an option to select for ticket date, closed date or paid date.
