I have no great desire to bully any company, but I do feel
that a company that has banged on for donkey's ages about caring about
its installed base should behave itself a bit better.

Awkward:
Whackypedia says:
"Different (and incompatible) versions of Quicken run on Windows and
Macintosh systems."
and
"the absence of a common cross-platform file format"
so getting data "into Quicken" could mean several things.
"newer versions of Quicken for Mac use an SQLite database"
