SOCIAL: Fwd: Fwd: Free QuickBooks at Staples - TODAY only

I keep the books for two small businesses- one in QB on Windows and 
the other in MS Money (in combination with doing the billing in MS 
Word).  For my own finances, I use Quicken on a Mac.

Quicken on a Mac kinda sucks for me (but not everyone), and it 
reminds me that being Mac user comes with a price- great overall 
system on which not all software works swimmingly.

What I can tell you is that QB on Windows works fine.   No quirkiness 
at all- none of the shenanigans that the personal version acts out on 
a Mac.

I recently bought a printer that came with a certificate for some 
free version of QB (sorry- not home right now so don't know the exact 
one).  But whatever ver it is, it only works for first time setup of 
QB and not for transferring over existing data.

If that's of interest to anyone, let me know and I'll happily pass it along.

Thanks,
Grace
