Intuit recently announced that Quicken 2007 for Mac won’t run on the new Mac OS X 10.7 “Lion”.  The reason for this is that Apple is discontinuing support for their “Rosetta” technology, a technology that allows old Power PC code to run on newer Intel Macs.  Intuit is “working with Apple” on this to see [...]

Back in February of 2010 I replaced Quicken for Windows with Moneydance on the Mac.  Since then I’ve written briefly about SEE Finance and more recently about iBank 4. As a Moneydance user it seemed only fitting to also talk about the latest Moneydance release, Moneydance 2011.  As I write this, version 2011 is currently [...]

When I decided to switch to the Mac one of the first things I did was create an application to application comparison matrix in order to ensure I could find an comparable Mac replacement for all my important Windows applications.  I found some great articles written by others who’d made the switch and that really [...]

In the spring of 2010 I’d been a Quicken user for a little more than ten years (since 1999 to be exact).  In the summer of 2008 I made the switch from Windows to a Mac but I had to hang onto Windows XP for a couple applications for which I just couldn’t find Mac [...]
