I look more rad than Lutheranism

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.

The Power Mac, NSM.

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.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

My office also used QuickBooks for Mac. I believe the accountant likes it.

I've used Quickbooks for Windows before, and it's fine. More small business features than I'll ever use, but hey, free.

Also, for anyone else wanted to make a cross-platform slideshow with a Mac, I was able to export a slideshow as a Quicktime Movie, which worked fine on a PC.

Up with the sun

If I download a show through BitTorrent, and the resulting folder name is Gilmore_Girls.5x22.A_House_Is_Not_A_Home.HDTV_XviD-FoV, and it has a bunch of segments inside it, and when I click on what seems to be the first one the computer says, "Windows cannot play this NFO file," what do I need to do to get the file to play?

(I've never gotten BitTorrent to work successfully for me on TV shows. Be gentle and go slow explaining this. Thanks.)
