Umm, with all due respect, something like Gnucash will do all
of that for you.  There are a number of other bits of software
that will do it too.  I get these numbers out of the software
I use to run my business accounts, and that's an OpenOffice
spreadsheet.

OK, well whatever.  I'm not that fussy.  I'd just be interested
in a rough ball park figure of what LA has coming in and going
out so that I have some confidence that we can afford to have
a $15K draw-down handed out to computerbank.
