		<description><![CDATA[Some people use the term &#8220;rounding error&#8221; to indicate that an answer is right enough, although not perfectly right.  Those people think &#8220;accurate&#8221; and &#8220;precise&#8221; are two different concepts.  They may be experimental scientists or programmers, but they aren&#8217;t working in Accounting.  Accountants cannot and should not leave journal entries alone with rounding errors.

We anticipate that our applications will run more reliably, perhaps faster, and maybe with a few new features. The chore that nobody likes, though, is checking for Oracle&#8217;s changes that affect the Peopletools objects we have customized.
