I agree 100% with Chuq on this.  I saw Quicken demoed at a user group
meeting and it looked so good that I bought it.  (In the Bay Area, it is
available from Egghead and ComputerWare.)

It is not only good for balancing a checkbook, but it can also keep track of
charge card accounts, etc.

One thing about the demo that impressed me is that they had (apparently)
done some research into other programs and what people wanted in a home
accounting program.  The result is a program that is very fast to use.  I
tend to enter transactions every couple of days, and it takes about 5
minutes to balance an account.

They also made a flexible program.  You can go back and change any entry
you want.  It understands about negative account balances.  If your account
doesn't balance, it adds an appropriate transaction, so that you don't have
to track down the mistake right away.  While reconciling an account, you can
enter new transactions.

The company also offers computer checks (although I don't have them), which
makes paying bills very easy.

I should also mention that they recently sent me a free update in the mail.
