[moneydance] Moneydance 2008 (606) and Compiz problem

[William R Wood]

Dave,

I too would pay $300 or more for a well supported personal finance program 
that at least matched Money 2002 feature for feature and had an excellent 
interface.  I ran MD side by side with M2002 for about 6 months and MD was 
so vastly inferior to Money in almost every way that I had to give it up.

The issue has nothing to do with the O/S in my case.  I have nothing against 
Windows and have no particular desire to use Linux (or a Mac) even though my 
son is a Linux specialist at HP and keeps knocking me on the head for not 
switching.  I simply want a good personal accounting program with all the 
reporting features that I need.  Money 2002 is very good but it has 
limitations and of course MSFT no longer develops it.  Current versions of 
Money are worse than 2002 and I refuse to use them because they have been 
dumbed down and have an automatic expiration of downloading.

I have been following MD for several years and it does not appear to me that 
MD will ever approach Money 2002.  It may be too much to expect a single 
individual who also has a day job to produce a high quality personal finance 
program and I agree that an open source bounty is a good idea.  Count me in.

Regards

Bill Wood
