[AccessD] OT: Software Recommendations

It was TurboTax and Intuit has made an announcement that they wouldn't be 
using the same method of protection in the future because of the big 
backlash it caused this year. Still, if they did it once, it is something to 
consider.

I use quicken and have for many years. I don't work it very hard though. 
Just basic checkibook function. Works just fine.
