The Germantown store used to have a cute blonde named Whitney working there whose dad is a Fedex pilot.

She fixed some stuff on mine and asked me for my system password. I had forgotten it long ago. She said, "Well, you have a hint listed here. What's your favorite number twice?"

I turned about 5 shades of red as I meekly mumbled, "Oh yeah ... 6969...."

Bid for a Portland layover and get the discount at the Apple store in the mall, plus no Sales Tax!
That should be appropriate advice for all those cheap pilot types.:D

Macs usually cost the same everywhere; strict Apple control. With the above discounts, buying directly from Apple would be the best way to go, in my opinion.

To get the discount, simply bring your ID to an Apple store. I don't want to post the online link on a public forum, but if you do a search for 'apple' on pilotswap you can find it.

Welcome to the cult!

If you have any students in the house you can also get a student discount and I think that one is at least 10%. That can be done through Apple's web site.

I have a question about the upload feature. Can you upload mulitple files on the same period.? For example one file for each receipt or does it have to be one file with all the receipts in it. The reason I ask is I have scanned all my receipts but each one is it's own JPG file.

What I found by messing around. Try re-selecting the Type of expense box (ie Scheduled, Deviation, whatever). If it says deviation now, select scheduled. When you do, all of your other options magically appear. Then just go back and reselect Deviation or whatever you started with in the first box. For some reason the Mozilla browsers need to "re-see" the first box to open up the options for the others.

I had the same thing....i reselected everything and it started working fine..

I would think so. I'm sure they would have told us if it had to be one large file with all receipts. Give it a shot....you can always go back and change it.

ain't technology great,,
 
just finished my apr expense report,,all I can say is Grrrrrrrr. More info is requested now,,,even down to the deviation flight # you took 2 months ago,,also justification for charging internet fees,, like don't these folks know what hotels charge and which don't. These fdx programers need to spend some time at aol/yahoo and find out how to create a user friendly, simple interactive reporting system. damn they make it hard...I'm ready to go to a new/old paper system.

From the upload page:


Instructions
  • Use your computers scanner to scan receipts
  • Save scanned images in a JPEG, PNG or TIFF format file
  • Enter file name below or 'Browse' to select file
  • Press 'Upload Now' button to transfer image
  • When transfer is complete you may view image
  • You may also transfer additional images for the same expense report
Notes
  • Scan using a LOW resolution setting such as 200 dpi
  • High resolution produces large files that take longer to upload
  • Uploads over 10M will be rejected

Thanks for the best laugh I've had in a long time. Let me guess, you're still on dialup using WinBlows 95....:eek:

How about a person?
 
I have watched the tutorial twice and still cannot get the screens to slide trip deviations and validate discrepancies correctly. I also noted that I must continually interface with H.A.L. - does anyone know a person I can call on the phone to help me slash through this? (Now I know why they made us take the violence in the workplace test a month or so ago...:D )
