    To answer your original question, I have used Wizard for years, but recently used JP's since they had better pricing on what I wanted at the time. I recommend both. You can keep a wishlist on each website to give you a quick check of current pricing when it is time for another order.

    Good luck!

    I have One Note! I didn't even think of that! But I've never done much with it.

    Thank you GoldBug999! I decided to go with Jp's. Their selection just seemed superior.

    I'd suggest buying a couple of year old edition of the Red Book. No sense in paying more for a new book when the prices are not that dramatically different. Me being the penny pinching Scot on such things, why waste dosh I can spend on something betters?

    Yes, I don't know if JP's offers older that 2017, but I'll check. Actually I can preorder a copy of 2018 for about $4 less that 2017.

    Honestly, this can change day to day. Make sure you are getting the "lock" symbol when you go to process any payments. This ensures that the SSL certificate is valid, and their Certificate Authority is in good order.

    Heh. My employer allows us to access and manipulate our employee data - schedule, financial, benefits, etc. - from the Web. For weeks (they finally updated to current security protocol a few days ago), only Internet Explorer still allowed me to access the site - both Firefox and Chrome prohibited it as unsecure. And this is one of the ten largest retailers in the country. :p

    I maintain a PCI compliance program for our company as part of my job. That sounds BAD!

    If that stuff isn't in order, they can be held liable for anything that happens for a known and uncorrected risk. I'm sure the Risk Mgmt. department would not be happy to hear this.

    Oh, the customer-facing stuff never skipped a beat, just the employee-facing stuff. That told me they knew how, and just chose not to bring that part into compliance on the same schedule.

    I go to Dollar Tree to buy trays that I put my 2X2's in. They are back in the household plastics and are 3 trays for a $. I use cent 2X2's for dimes. Saves buying 1 extra size. Good Luck.
