As it turns out, I was over at Best Buy this afternoon getting a battery
operated radio like the government has suggested, and I saw Tax Cut federal
and state available for the same price of Turbo Tax state only. So I thought
what do I have to lose, and I'm here anyway, and I hate to go shopping in
general and even more so when it comes to anything related to computers, so
what the hell.

I now own Tax Cut. I have the receipt for Turbo Tax, so I'm going to send it
back for the refund.

The copy of Tax Cut comes with a free copy of Microsoft Money, but I'm very
relucant to switch to that because I think leaving Intuit for Microsoft
because of privacy is a little bit like moving from Syria to Libya because
of human rights. I don't use any Internet features of Quicken so I guess
I'll keep the version I've got at least for a while. I typically don't
change Quicken versions more than about every 5 years anyway and I just got
Quciken 2003 because it came free with the Turbo Tax.

I guess this will mean that Intuit will lose dough on me. Boo hoo.
