In a previous article, cse0603@desire.wright.edu () says: >Hello > >Any opinions on Managing Your Money vs Quicken would be appreciated. >I'd like to keep my household budget on my MAC and I've narrowed my choices >to these two. > > I don't have Quicken for the Mac, but I have tried MYM (latest version on the Mac) and I think it's home finances module does not work as well as Quicken, for which I have version 4.0 for the PC. Considering that I will probably be spending 90% of my time in home finances and the rest in others, I think MYM home finances does not come close to an ancient version of quicken. Now, speaking of mac and pc versions, a Comp-USA store recently opened in Pittsburgh and I was dissapointed to see that they carry 8 rows of software products for pc and only 1 row for macs. To make things worse, the Windows version of Quicken cost only $23 and Mac version cost $43 !!! And to make things EVEN WORSE, the $23 windows version of Quicken can do A HECK OF A LOT MORE, than the $43 mac version !!! (pc version has an invesment module for tracking stocks, mutual funds, etc and can import stock quotes directly from prodigy !) I'm not surprised why Macs have a hard time beating pc's on the market. comments ?
