Re: [PLUG] Personal Financial software


I use GNU cash, and am pretty happy with hit.  On my list is to get into
advanced features like writing reports, and hopefully using it for
invoicing.

FWIW, I'm pretty disappointed that support for the SQL back end is waining.
I really wanted to have a multiuser accounting system, and had hopes
that this
would provide for my needs. 

I have personal finances, but I've also just recently started a
business, which I'm also
using gnucash for.  As when anyone starts a business, I have hopes that
I'll need a multiuser
accounting system someday =)
