I have a folder in my Opera bookmark list called "Quicken
Replacements". Got to prepare for my move away from Windows.   :)

I add to the folder whenever I see something of interest, usually via a
mention on the Quicken support newsgroup.  There are not a lot of happy
people there.  Which confirms how bad MS Money really is, i.e., if MS Money
were halfway decent, it would be tearing customers away from Quicken; but
it ain't.
