MYOB has a native Mac OSX version in the works (MYOB AccountEdge) which I offered to port to Unix and Linux for them, for free. (ie, free $$$ for them!)
I did this because I want to get out of the Windows world, and MYOB is currently the only product holding me back.

Would it be evil of me to post the email address of the guy who thinks that Linux & BSD don't warrant a port, even if it was free?
I won't, just in case...
