Re: [PLUG] Personal Financial software

[Art Alexion <art.alexion@verizon.net>]

Got an older, but functional, copy of Quickbooks, and a free copy of
Quicken that comes with TurboTax, but I wanted to do this in Linux if I
could.

BTW, downloaded and installed Moneydance, but it really mangled the QIF
import from kMyMoney.  I think this is a kMyMoney issue because GnuCash
refused to import the QIF (Data for number or date does not match a
recognized format.)
