[Hidden-tech] Converting from PC to iMac

[Val Nelson]

Hi Naaz,
It might also be worth checking out the online versions of Quicken and
Quickbooks.

It's true it's a little more expensive in the long run to use it online, but
there are many convenience benefits, and you don't have to buy Parallels
software which is about $80.

I haven't tried the online versions myself but it seems like a good option
when I reviewed it. The cost was the only reason I didn't go that way.

Can't believe I'm answering a question about Quickbooks which is the thing I
hate most in the world. Can I hear an Amen?

Good luck,
Val
