logs. I use my PDA. First, create an Excel (or similar) spreadsheet. (I
do one for each month.) Enter the date, start and finish mileage, and the
purpose for business travel. The spreadsheet calculates the total mileage

12 months worth of mileage and get your annual total. I guess some people
on the list can even do that in binary. I personally just use regular old
numbers. ;-)<o:p></o:p></p>
