That I did I found two or three I tried Banktivity 7, on a 30 day trial it had good reviews so I tried it but it locked up the next day wanting Apple internet, unfortunately I was way up on a mountain top and had no internet I put program in the trash for safe keeping, I may try it again? Then I tried Finance 2, it took a bit to get use to, but it has promise it has a 14 day free trial, far better just at the outset than anything from MS, and I haved them all, the mumbers look good, thanks for replying

I haven’t used Keynote yet but now I know what it does, I have tried Numbers it looks like a teal good program Excel use to be a good program and then it went bad the best version of Excel for engineers was was Excel 98, Quick Time a very good program,

I have tried Filemaker the dara base program tried creating a data base for the local school district it worked except users had to remember to enter a 0 into a field, of course school teachers couldn’t remember to do that but it almost worked in realtime accounting for multicomputing, Access was ok but MS tried to integrate everything you can’t mix text and numbers with Word and Excel, bad idea, Quicken now wants to store data on the internet so thats out, Peach Tree was a real dependable program and then they just quit, Money was ok but they wanted to hook it up to the Stock Market not practical for a Homeowner or Small Business, I really don’t know what Small Business Owners do? Maybe Quicken 2002 was the last good one, any way thanks for your reply

I haven’t used Quicken since about 2010, but just talking with some folks who use it daily, they said it has problems so they quit using it for Accounting purposes. Some have gone to Excel spread sheets on the Mac, but that is not really practical, I guess thats why they are complaining so much, but yes if Numbers could make a few more Spread Sheets dedicated to say Small Business Accounting, Apple would put the rest out of business but then what do I know? So your saying the best solution for a Mac in your experience is Quicken? that is helpful, thanks
