[moneydance] current balance is old?

I understand the feeling grouchy part (yep, here too) but it is really 
not advisable to leave any program open for days at a time. This is the 
kind of thing that can really trash a file or program if something 
unexpected happens - like a computer lockup. And computer issues don't 
only happen on Windows, no matter what the Mac and *nix fanbois like to 
say ;-)

That being said, from my point of view it is still a tossup between 
Quicken (my old 2000 version, not the new ones!) and Moneydance. I am 
still doing dual entry in both programs simply for some of the Quicken 
reporting features, but I really like the Moneydance interface and user 
experience much more.
