OK, Mike --
Recommendations for alternate software for those of who have used Turbo Tax
for years, have clients with old information that can be imported from last
year's files, and who don't have the need for a big expensive program like
La Certe?
Thanks.

I updated my web pages for this:
An Intuit 9/5/02 press release on this

You remove TurboTax before using the C-Dilla
uninstaller, so those who gave back TT before
getting the uninstaller SHOULD not have a
problem, contrary to earlier reports.

Also contrary to reports, I see nothing in
Intuit Press Releases or at
http://www.macrovision.com/ showing that
Macrovision is nwo owned by Intuit.
