yeah it has always done that, but it is a program written by accountants 
;) nothing about it is normal


I use first accounts and I know I will have to upgrade one day but at 
the moment it is fine for my use

I tried it under various flavours of linux, currently run Ubuntu, it 
seems to work fine except for the tabs, the other thing was I entered in 
a bunch of new data to an existing accounts file and even though the 
program showed the data onscreen it couldn't save it, it might have been 
something as simple as a permission change on the .dat file but would 
not write to it, so it was a waste of time.

I find it best to run MYOB in a virtual box like VMWare where it does 
work very well or just use an old notebook or something just for MYOB, 
it doesn't need the latest top end pc to run.

I currently run 1stAccounts on a netbook with XP, more than enough for it.

firefox on Ubuntu works fine, yes it falls over on odd occasions because 
of dodgy code on some webpage but not very often.

don't use Skype

never used Evo, thunderbird works fine and can read and post to 
newsgroups, obviously :)
