- I used MacMoney for about two years, but switched to Quicken about
- a year ago.

- The MacMoney interface just got to me in the end. It's very modal:
- you can't have more than one account open at a time, and the
- windows are fixed size. There was also this annoying memory-saving
- 'feature' which loads a set number of records into memory at any
- one time and you have to page through the sets by hitting a
- next/previous button (in addition to the scroll bar). All in all,
- it worked, but the interface definately showed that it was designed
- quite a few years ago when all Macintoshes had 9" screens and
- little memory.
