People, you intrigue me so much , I even looked at Nora's suggestion about iBank and looked at the website. I have never used or had to use Quicken ,my finances were so small I could contain them in my head and really don' t know what you are talking about, and it is such a mystery, and,like in a mystery novel, there often comes a moment that I think I find the answer before finishing the book. And , low and behold, there is Andy still around, I thought he had given up on the Macgroup altogether, and it was he who spoke to me at my first meeting with the Mac-people ------- ages ago. So I shall wait for the satisfaction reports on iBank.
