Their competition isn't up to much either. 'A' has ditched his Quicken package in favour of a spreadsheet.
Steve says:
Hence my joy at the release of Boot Camp. Quickbooks Pro for XP/Vista will be making a comeback...
Virginia says:
Yes, I hadn't thought of that: I know a lot of Mac-only offices that have a PC (or some horrible Virtual PC setup) for accounting alone. Boot Camp will be great for those people.
Peter says:
I'm convinced that with File Maker Pro, a copy of "Tax Law For Absolute Morons", and a weekend away, we could knock out a reasonably good accounting/invoicing program.
Then again, if he's only the CEO (and not the owner), who knows if his income is tied to the value of the company? We could be impugning a perfectly reputable company just because they choose to employ a prick to run it for them.
