      Fortunately, it's free as in beer! So even if it blows your finances you'll always be able to afford it. If need be you can run it on cheap legacy hardware. Now all you have to worry about is electricity...

      Well - dataloss is very dangerous. So bann all this "unstable software" and use software which calls home and saves all your vital private finance information by sending them to the author over the internet.

      You were doing well at explaining that until you said "you're a moron", which is the part where I, and likely many others, lost all respect for you.

      Typical whinging NIMBY answer.

      "Let the *other guys* do all the work and just give me the final product."

      In fact, why don't we just send them all over to your place to enter your transactions and then balance them for you?

      Guess what? It's strictly optional. YOU don't have to lift a damned finger if you don't want. *I* am going to download it tonight and give it a go because I want to.

      I consult fixing other people's computers - solving their software problems. Guess what? I'm good at what I do. I'm good at it because I take the time poking around with programs that interest me. GNUcash holds my interest. Quicken - bless it's popularity - is a festering piece of crap I can't stand to use.

      Hey, that's still my choice. I don't have to use Quicken, I opt to use GNUcash. Now I get the chance to beta-test for them. I don't expect to find a lot, but if I do it'll help a bunch of other users out there. That's cool to me.

      You don't have to pitch in. But neither do you have to bitch about beta-testing in the Open Source fashion.

    Once it works for him, it certainly works for all of us.

    Maybe Bill can finally have his taxes processed on a 'normal' computer now that GnuCash 1.9.0 is out?

    It was about three years ago in February that I decided to switch to BitchBetterHaveMyMoney, and I've never looked back. The application is rock solid. And it keeps track of not some of my money, but all of my money.

    Truth be told, their motto is proof: "Through rain, sleet, snow, or dark of night: BitchBetterHaveMyMoney."
