So you have to use e@syfile to issue IT3's and IRP5's and to do PAYE recons and submit to SARS. However, just when you least expect it, an update of the software is announced. You go through the motions of doing a backup and start the update which "will take a few minutes". You are glued to your seat as the program will time-out "due to inactivity" and you have to click continue numerous times. Surprisingly, notwithstanding watching and clicking vigilantly, the precious software times out regardless. So you start again. And don't think the update has registered anything all the previous times you tried, nope, it starts right from 1% and takes aaaaages just to time out again. Not wanting to be labelled a quitter, you go at this for more than an hour before you register that the universe is not on your side today and just give it up.

Eish!

Now that I've vented a bit, it surely feels better. Now let's try again...
