For syncing to multiple computers, or having an iDisk, you need to subscribe to the.Mac service.

Doesn't look to be too much of a problem. At first, there will be extentions added to the existing PCI slot on mother boards. After that, they are speculating that a chasis with a "PCI Bay" will be built into boards, allowing for support of the actual devices.
Don't you think that larger firms are using more enterprise style apps tha AIM? All of the big business oriented messaging apps offer server side logging, and it's probably searchable and closed to boot. I think even AIM has a enterprise version out or coming out soon.

What you seem to be missing is that the consumer is not involved in this case. The consumer buys a product provided by a reseller. The reseller has an agreement with the OEM. In said agreement is stated term which the reseller MUST follow inorder to be supplied with product. If the terms are not met, the agreement specifies what damages can be levied. Just because the damages affect availability to the consumer, doesn't make them illegal, just a PITA. If I want, I can sell you an asshat. If you in the agreement I specify how you are to wear the asshat and you agree to those terms, breaking them forfiets your rights to the asshat, asshat.
Why isn't the companies that he yoinked the patterns from? What is the pattern-maker's claim here. Doesn't the producer give up the right to the product when the sell it to a reseller?

MadPenguin does the tango with MoneyDance 2003
(Posted on Tuesday, April 22 @ 22:12:13 EDT )
For those of you who may not have heard, MoneyDance 2003 was released on March 28th, 2003 for general public consumption. It is available for Linux, Mac OSX, and also Windows. Geared toward current Intuit Quicken and Microsoft Money users, MoneyDance 2003 is packed full of features.
This is more than a software release to the Linux world. It is a step forward. Until now, Linux had a fairly large hole which was void of proper personal finance software (aside from the obvious gnucash), but MoneyDance seems to be on the right track to bridging that gap. At one time, when the software was dropped by the company that owned it, the outlook appeared bleak... but since it's been given new life by it's original developer, Reilly Technologies, MoneyDance appears to have a bright future.
On to the review...
by MadJudu:
When asked if I was interested in reviewing MoneyDance 2003, I jumped at the opportunity. As a long-time Windows user and Computer Applications Instructor I have been eagerly awaiting software such as MoneyDance to make my conversion from Windows to Linux complete. It has been a slow process finding quality, sophisticated Linux software that is comparable to their Windows counterparts. Fortunately in banking software I have found a keeper with MoneyDance and am one step closer to making this happen. Below are my observations on this great software.
INSTALLATION
The installation was quick and easy. I filled out the information on their free download link and that took me to the instruction page. The instructions were simple and few, just the way I like it. This was my first unsupervised Linux install. The only thing I needed an explanation for was the following symbol "%>" which is the Konsole prompt. At first I didn't realize that I wasn't supposed to type that along with the command.
IMPORTING QIF FILES
I created nine exported QIF files from Quicken, which contained all the info for my accounts. There were three bank, four credit, and two cash accounts. The first time you open MoneyDance the opening screen has three options: Create New File, Open Existing File and Import File. The program already knows that you're importing a QIF file once you click on the Import File button. All the accounts imported easily, however there were a number of duplicate transactions created in the process. The help files noted that this is a possibility and that you may have to "find and remove a duplicate transaction or two." In the case of a year's worth of transactions, it would be more than a few duplicates and wasn't worth the trouble. I ended up not importing the two cash accounts. All the other accounts imported without creating duplicates and with the same balances that were on the original Quicken accounts. As soon as I added the cash accounts, most of the account balances changed with the added duplicate files.
I do not believe that this is a problem with MoneyDance as much as it is a problem with the originating software. It would be preferable if QIF files included all the bank accounts in one QIF instead of one QIF for each individual account. With this design it would seem that duplicates are inevitable. This is something to consider when trying to decide whether to transfer your account information to MoneyDance or just start fresh with a brand new file and go from there.
As a side note, I noticed that there is also an option to import OFX (Open Financial Exchange) through the Menu Bar if your current banking software does not use QIF.
EASE OF USE
The program is simple and easy to use. All accounts are shown in your Root Account (Home Page) in a kind of "snapshot" format. It lists each name and account balance. From there you can select an account and go into that register.
Whatever account you choose to use, each new transaction is shown as a blank check. You just fill in the appropriate blanks and select Record. There are useful features that are similar to Quicken such as the date shortcu

Dude, lighten up. You're using equiptment that is at the bottom end of the spectrum for OS X. You're complaining about smoothing on an old LCD, and speed on an old CPU. If you want compare the two, try running XP on a sub gigahertz PC with a 15" CRT. I'm sure you're complain about it being Really Slow and hurting your eyes.
I have a good friend who interned an MS. He had a good experience, and was offered a job when he graduated. They pay interns very well, but they are expected to pull 55+ work weeks, and have no weekends. If you can get past the stigma of working for the Dark Side, it's a great opprotunity...
Have you been to a Starbucks in the last 6 months? IIRC, the teamed with VoiceStream/T-Mobile to provide prepayed wireless access. And, depending on where your local Apple store is located, you should be able to leach from them, all their stores should have open 802.11b networks.

I think gnuman was referring to aptitude more than intelligence.
