QuickBooks vs Peachtree vs Microsoft

For the first three years of my business I used MS-Money for Home and Business. No complaints, easy to setup, it served me well, but as the business grew I needed something that would give me more detailed information. I bought Peachtree a few months ago to try it out. It just didn't seem to fit for my small business. It was really overkill. Two weeks ago I purchased QuickBooks Pro 2006 and I'm amazed that I was able to get it all setup and running in this short time span. Changing over to different software was not something I viewed as a minor thing. During the process of changing over, purchases and sales didn't stop, so there was pressure to get it working as soon as possible. Meanwhile there was the work of closing last year's books and preparing for taxes. Overall, the changeover to Quickbooks was relatively painless and I'm already getting the benefits of the extra information it provides. It was a wise investment. As for the money spent on Peachtree, it can be chalked up to education.Bob

Amazing. They're still selling the same bogus item.

Perhaps not that amazing. Intuit explained that even though the web address is registered to a supposed Phoenix person, these things are typically associated with offshore business ventures making them difficult to find and shut down. The company never shipped the backup CD for which I was charged so there is no way for me to know the company's actual address. Perhaps they are related to some deposed dictator from Nigeria.

I wonder if anyone has heard of a wonderful tool called traceroute?
