I’m a Mac user, so I got this for the Windows I run using Parallels. I have to say that this is a fairly obtrusive product that makes its presence known several times throughout the internet browsing experience.

I have both a PC and a Mac, so I rarely worry about virus protection. The PC is a necessity. The Mac is a godsend. So I bought OneCare for my PC not really thinking about what I’d need it to do. Someone else had recommended that I try AVGFree, which worked just as well. Well OneCare lived up to my expectations, which were low. You can put this program on up to 3 PCs for virus, adware/spyware, and firewall protection.

As an Excel devotee, I can say that Microsoft Accounting Professional 2008 is an easy convert for someone who’s never used accounting software. It has a variety of templates that allow you to set up ways to monitor and track expenses. It has features like how to create purchase orders, track inventory, and run payroll, etc. As a small business owner (very small, employees = 1), I didn’t really need all the extra features, but the ones that I did use were pretty intuitive.

Perfect for my needs. I used this cable to extend from an amp to the antenna.

No better than Quicken Essentials. In fact, I couldn’t find any difference. Bought it, tried the budgeting feature, found it just as useless as QE. Asked for a refund in 24 hours. Sticking with iBank5.
