Yeah, Money is a bitch to set up. Every time you figure out some new thing that it can do that you weren't doing right before, you need to keep track and go remove the things you did wrong or you'll never know how much money you have. But once it gets humming along, it is an entertaining program. It managed to save me some considerable money on my tax return last year. I see by my refund that they didn't give me as much back as I thought they would, so I'm awaiting the letter explaining the difference. From there I'll decide if I need to send more information or let it drop.

The CD ROM is making a liar of me this evening. I thought "what the heck" and stuck the Netgear disk into it. Opened just fine. Hmmmm. (I was setting up a network password to keep passersby off of our home network. I didn't do that before, but I am now.) I'll test it with some more disks later. I have a whole stack of stuff to install still.

BTW: There was no UK bashing intended in my criticism of MS Money. The British English in Money could be entertaining, but the problem is that it's asking for stuff that just isn't germane here, like Value Added Taxes or whatever some of those things are (I think they're also in Canada). This could mean that it will miss U.S. stuff I want it to calculate.
