I use Talking Checkbook and I think it's an excellent program for the features it offers. However, I personally think there's a couple of drawbacks to it and they are:
1) The expense of special printer check forms is ridiculous -- I paid about $75.00 for 250 checks from the recommended vendor. Maybe it's possible to buy a special check printer (for regular bank-size checks), but I didn't look into it. If this is so, somebody let me (and the list) know. 2) The program has no provision to allow you to fill in selected information and then print the check. Maybe you can leave the Payee, date and memo fields empty (haven't tried that yet); but you must fill in the check amount before printing the check. It would be nice - given the market population - if the payee, date and other information could be printed to the check without a payment amount, leaving that information blank. This way you could print up a check for a specific merchant, sign it and send someone to do the shopping. 3) The program claims to be able to support record keeping for various types of accounts. But if you track a savings or credit card account with TCB you find yourself having to skip past the check number and a few other nonsensical fields given the type of account. All-in-all, I would recommend this program to anybody that wants to track their financial accounts with to-the-cent accuracy and have the ability and independence to handle their own finances conveniently. But having been a software engineer for almost 20 years, I felt I had to point out a couple of flaws with the program. ---------------- Bill Gallik E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - "If we couldn't laugh, we would all go insane." - Jimmy Buffett --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Visit the JAWS Users List home page at: http://www.jaws-users.com You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "JAWS Users List" group.
