>Steve -- why did you give up on it? I was fed up with their backhanded upgrade tactics. I've been upgrading every year since 98, and have noticed the software get worse in terms of bloat, relentless advertising stuck in your face, and in many ways I prefered the older versions ( the functionality seemed cleaner and easier to me ). When I hit version 2003 I decided I was done upgrading; I hadn't seen any compelling features to keep going.
Then I found out how Quicken basically disables some of the most crucial features of their software after a certain time frame which coincides with them dropping support for the product. I think they call this the sunset period or something. I don't care if they drop phone support ( it's useless anyway ), but to disable features, is criminal. The most notable feature is the automatic downloading of credit card & bank account information. It basically stopped working after this date (which was about 5 months ago I think). I was warned many many times by the software that it would stop, and that I *must* upgrade, and I was even sent numerous emails about it. I was and am still outraged at this tactic, so I decided instead of knuckling under, I would abandon them all together. So I did, but now I'm looking for a replacement, and I'm unsure what to go with ( I've heard some horror stories about MS Money ).. -Steve _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
