Episode 117

You guys were talking about the sound quality... I thought the sound quality of 117 was excellent. Everyone sounded really good.

Also, Dann, you were talking about Moneydance. I have used this app since 2004 and it works great. It is the only Linux money manager app that I found that not only would import quicken data, but would also connect to the bank's servers and download the data for you. With other apps, I had to download the data from my bank and then import it into the app. Moneydance is like Quicken in that you can do it all from within the program. And, since it is cross-platform, I can use it on my Mac as well.

Nice app.

I want to check out Moneydance as well:

Another weak point that is slowly being wittled away. All we need now is for Turbo Tax to be released on linux.

One more thing about Moneydance: you can do online bill pay from within the app as well. It really is a Quicken replacement, IMHO.

You're right, Pat. Having TurboTax for Linux would be great. I've used the online TaxAct Online -- http://www.taxactonline.com -- for the past few years and it's worked fine, but I'd rather have a native Linux application.

So would I. I'll have to check that out.
Thanks
