At one point my tivo missed all channels with a 6 in them - I had to slow down the speed in which the channels changed.

Yeah, I ran into the weirdo '6' problem at one point. If you check TivoCommunity.com, you'll find a FAQ with frequent problems, and channel changing is one of the biggies. All you have to do is go into the menus and try different IR blaster settings.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
In my house, it's also sometimes the cat's fault, or mine really, for leaving the remote on HIS couch.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Here's a question. Since the iPhone SDK needs an Intel Mac, I'm toying with the idea of buying a Macbook Air. Has anybody got one? As they any good?

All is well that ends in pizza.
Well, they've only been shipping over a month, hard to tell if there are any major flaws.
Other than needing a separate optical drive, or borrowing one from a nearby computer over the network, it looks like a fun machine.

Thanks for the GnuCash rec, DX. I was just looking for something like that.

Liquid ledger looks good.
I wish I were tough enough for the gnu cash installation. I feel like a wimp. But with all that I've got going on, the shortest, flattest learning curve is the way I must go.

Turns out that the quickbooks copy I have is NUE (new user edition) which seems to be less complex.
This may be a Natter question, given all the accounting savvy folks we have. If so, I will move it.
As a sole proprietor who has been bleeding money for the last few years (and turning that around, please all that is holy) my personal accounts ARE my business accounts...mixed personal and business expenses on all my credit cards and bank accounts.
Is there a simple strategy within accounting software to make this work?
Truly, nearly all my outgoings, except for food, are business related...even my rent, as my office is in my home.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
perhaps someone more knowledgeable than I can comment about the difference between quickbooks and quicken, but I have used quicken for years (literally, since 1990) and I have found it to be quite suitable for most of my needs. I do not own a business, however.
the categories in quicken can really help you identify business vs. personal expenses. I just categorize all my business expenses as such and run a report when it is tax time.
