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

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.
