[Hidden-tech] Ugh: Lion won't support older Quicken

[Annamarie Pluhar]

Today's news from MacWorld.. Apple is abandoning Rosetta which means that I won't be able to continue to run Quicken 2006 once I have to do the upgrade.  [And we all will end up upgrading eventually.] 

Now, some years ago I wasted a weekend trying to use iBank. It never did reconcile my accounts and I couldn't figure it out so I abandoned the effort. I was disappointed as I'd love to support a good Apple product. (And I find Intuit's efforts to make a mac product ugly.) One thing I like about QUicken is that it really does prevent one from accidentally deleting a transaction. IBank didn't have the same solidity, I felt. 

So, I'd love to know what the rest of you mac users think about all this. I do count on Quicken to track expenses for taxes, and since I enter all transactions, I have a good sense of what money I have/don't have. I don't download transactions. I've thought I might be in the dark ages and that it's time to modernize my methods. Anyone want to do a HT session on managing simple finances on a Mac without Quicken? 

Thanks.  Happy Monday morning
