Thursday

Heh, just now saw a pair of house finches come to drink at the bird dish.

Warm, hazy sun. 90 degrees (32.2 Celsius). Mr. N is back from Miami and is working from home today. Got car inspected yesterday -- took along Olive Kitteridge to read but as it turned out the wait wasn't too long. There was another customer doing the same thing (reading), except she was using a Kindle.

Yes, but the latest version of Quicken would require me to have an Intel Mac; I have an older PowerPC.

I've found a VERY promising alternative, though, that will run on my machine and will cost about $150. Something called AccountEdge 2009. Looks much better to me so far, and while it gets fewer reviews overall, MacWorld and the users are both giving it higher marks than Quicken/Quickbooks products.

That does look like a good program. That they offer a free trial, training and a money-back guarantee are all very positive signs.

Yup. So I think my plan is:

1. Set up new LaCie hard drive

2. Download free trial of AccountEdge (um, if that's still possible for me, with my older Mac)

3. ???

4. PROFIT!
