Jess, unfortunately there's no universally loved personal accounting software for the Mac -- that's my one quibble. I still miss MS Money. I'm using Quicken, since it came with my iBook, but it took a lot of getting used to, and I still don't like the way it tracks investments.

I know nothing about web design software, for Mac or PC.

Gack! I just did a quick search on "quicken" to check the price on Amazon, and the first result it gave me was Quicken Willmaker Plus 2005. I'm a little nervous now.

Well, it works with your tagline....

Quicken didn't come with your OS?

You know, I haven't checked. I don't think so, though.

Jess, what did you get -- an iMac, or a Power Mac? The iMac comes with Quicken, according to Apple's site. The Power Mac, NSM.

t edit But it looks like the Power Mac comes with something called QuickBooks for Mac, which sounds like an accounting program.

Yeah, I got a Power Mac. Oh well, no free Quicken.

Huh. QuickBooks, which should have come with your Power Mac, looks just like Quicken.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

QuickBooks is supposed to be Quicken that you can run a small business on.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

We use Quickbooks--our company has 53 employees and hundreds of clients. It works pretty well.

Oh! Well then that's all right then.

I spent most of last night transferring files from my old PC (and on the phone with tech support & sales trying to get them to send me an AirPort card to replace the one they didn't install) so I really haven't had a lot of time to poke around.
