    Do you use it? Do you like it?

    Did you buy it and not use it anymore?

    Depends what you want it for. I find it excellent for simple personal accouting and stock transactions. Terrible for business accounting.

    It's weakness is that it's too simple to change and there's little 'trail' if you make changes. Put for personal financial stuff, it's about the best program out there

    It is not made for business accounting, that company makes QuickBooks for that.

    Either Quicken or MS Money for personal stuff, both are very good.

    I didn't buy it but I've used it for many years now. Almost switched to MS Money, but the foreign interface reminded me Microsoft was the work of the devil and I stuck with Quicken.

    One thing I noticed in using Quicken, as a warning, is that I made bad decisions about how I was going to set it up and how I'd conduct data-entry that I regretted later when I understood the program better. I've been meaning to start a new file and begin again with a clean slate, but haven't really been willing to make the time-investment.

    I wondered how the two compared.
