Quicken

Hi dktrickey Thank you for the welcome and the response. I agree that I probably would be happier running the Mac version and quite frankly, running everything Mac. However that is not MY reality. There is a Mac Version of Photoshop Elements available but after having read User Reviews it is a poor port over to MacIntosh. Apparently the Windows version is much better....

I contacted quicken support here and received a long explanatory email... ...

I have some accounts I use to charge to the clients I have, and it works out well for the pc, but I recently saw there is no "specific" quicken business product for the mac., like there is XG for the pc. ...

so far I have only seen quicken be able to do the job properly. ...

The vast majority of my Quicken history didn't transfer correctly and I would have had to enter it manually. Ughh! I didn't switch Quicken. ...

I keep reading about USB problems. The Insulin pump and the blood glucose meter both hook up to the computer via a USB cable. I also have 15 years of DETAILED Quicken data that I've heard will not correctly translate to the Mac version of Quicken. ...
