I don't know about quicken and it sucks when the website says IE only.
However, tax day shouldn't sending you running for the windows box.=20

I've been using the turbo tax website for years. I haven't done my taxes
yet so I don't know what the experience is like this time. It shouldn't
be a problem but you never know.=20

Subject: [aklug] Turbo Tax and Linux

There are only a few things I use Windows for these days:

  - IE when the websites I use require it
  - Quicken, cause I just can't get my wife to like GNUCash
  - Turbo Tax.

Well Turbo Tax just informed me that they will no longer support the =20
Windows 2K machine that I am running on starting next year.

I probably can find an old laptop that has XP Home, but it just torks =20
me when companies do this.

Anyone solving these windows application problems with other
applications?

I'm looking for actual examples of where folks have used the programs =20
they are going to suggest.

To me, other than iTunes for the various pods and other apple gadgets =20
we have, I could be rid of Windows forever if I can conquer the above =20
items.

Here's to hoping.
