Stephen, I just installed Quasar and after a very perfunctory (do you like that word?) look, I would have to admit I'll be giving it a trial. Looks good. Hsimilar to MYOB?

(Then I'll be down to TWO apps that I have to run under M$ - Photoshop and Illustrator) The reports aren't as good as in MYOB, but that may be due to the fact that I haven't figured out how to obtain the ones I'm after, especially for GST. Nevertheless, I like quasar so much that I'm going to buy the base package to help support it. Oh yeah, and initially I had problems trying to write an invoice because I hadn't setup the tenders (cash, charge, direct credit, etc) in Setup System Tenders, but asking on their website bulletin board got a quick reply from one of the developers. A nice polite reply to the bargain, just like you get from this list ;-) Sharrea -- Help Microsoft stamp out piracy - give Linux to a friend today Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
