I used to use Quicken (personal bookkeeping product from the same company) to manage my checkbook registers, for three or four years. It was easy to use and had some nice features. Then the program managed to eat an entire year's checkbook registry, and the company was no help at all--and this was before Carbonite existed. So I wouldn't even consider QB. I did use their now-defunct payment system because the transaction fee was 50 cents no matter how large the transaction. I've been managing my checkbooks in Excel ever since. Not as elegant but it does the job, and the data seems much more robust.
