Well, since people are having such problems with Monogram, I figured
I'd put in a plug for MacMoney, from Survivor Software.  It's a good
product, and seems to have all the features one would need in such a
program (although I am admittedly not a "power user" when it comes to
financial management programs.)  The best part is that Survivor
appears to have a very reasonable upgrade and support policy.  I
bought my copy in November from MacConnection for $42.  I used it for
a few months, and then in January, I read that there was a new version
3.0 coming out, so I gave them a call to see what the upgrade cost
would be.  To my surprise, they said the upgrade was free; all I had
to do was send them a letter requesting the upgrade.  I did, and sure
enough, three or four weeks later a package showed up with the new
software, a new manual, the whole wad.  I think I got my $42 worth....

The newest version is $69 from MacConnection, which is still cheaper
than Dollars & Sense.  I suggest that disgruntled D&S users may want
to check it out.

Disclaimer: Of course, I have no relationship with Survivor Software
other than as a satisfied customer.
