- Nice to see something from someone at my alma mater. I've seen both on
- PCs and MACs, although it has been some time. Personally I use MYM on my
- Mac and it does everything I want it to do and does it quite well. A
- couple a years ago I tried Quicken on the Mac and it was bad; however,
- that was an old version that has gone through several updates. I
- understand it is much better now.
-
- On a PC I was much more impressed with Quicken than MYM. However, MYM
- for the PC has probably been updated and it may be compatible with
- windows and be a good choice.
-
- My personal recommendation would be dependent on the machine. Use MYM
- for the Mac and Quicken for the PC. However, I am sure that many people
- will disagree with me. In any case, both will probably do what you want
- although you may have to adjust the way you do things to allow the
- software to accomidate your wishes.
