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

[Willo O'Brien]

Ya, I want to believe the Pro 2009 for Mac is better...  maybe I'll  
download a trial & check it out.

That said, I'll probably be changing some of my business processes  
(online store gateway, credit cards & such) this coming year anyway,  
and I have a feeling it will mean firing up VMware to run the better  
QB Pro on Windows.

Do any of you use QB for retail/inventory combined with an online  
store? If so, I would love to chat w/ you about your processes.
