Welcome to Apple.  I've found over the past few months that it has the
best of both the Windows and the Linux worlds...  (my opinion..  no,
you over there, put down the chair..)

Nice..  I agree completely.  :)  I like the speed of native apps
too...  I've dealt with far too many slow java apps...

You can do this in 1.4 ...  (1.3 too I think)  When you set up the
spending plan, it lumps all the income together.  When you allocate
income, though, you allocate the income for each bucket.  There's an
option in the upper left that lets you choose the bucket.  Just put
your income and your gf's income in different buckets.

Doh!  Yes!  This would be PERFECT...  I just asked Kevin the other day
about adding fields or something so that I can store account
information, address, phone number, etc...  I never even thought about
using the address book...  Great idea...

In the normal transaction view?  I get the context menu..  no text blanking... ?
