Hi all
New member and new ubuntu user. I'm about a 95% user of ubuntu as I
still need windows for a few things - that will hopefully change soon :)
You could start by telling us what you still need Windows for, and maybe
we can help you work out that part! :-) My wife i just recently got
rid of the one thing we needed Windows for on her computer: MS Money.
We switched to GnuCash, and it's much easier to get to now - no waiting
for 5 minutes while Windows boots up in VMware.
Quickbooks is what we use here, I may still use it via wine if that
works I have not tried it. Quickbooks us good for us as we can link it
direct with the accountants systems at tax time. I have tried GnuCash
and hence I am using quickbooks for a reason - imho it is better :)
I am also after a good video editing solution that I can use to get HD
video from my camcorder and then edit. I have been using Adobe Premier
and Encore - though they are causing me more grief than help lately :)
The final piece to my puzzle is a good css editor, something like
TopStyle, I have been trying lots of linux solutions such as cssed but
so far nothing even comes close to TopStyle.
I note on the Google group site that the group appears to have little
activity? Why? Anything I can help with and why mailing list and not a
forum?
The simple answer there is that for the most part mailing lists are a
lot easier to manage.
Fair enough, I just thought I'd ask ... though the inactivity was
something I thought was strange though... I am also a member of the main
ubuntu forums but liked the idea of having a more local group.
Hope to chat with you guys more soon :)
Great to have you with us! Remember the Ubuntu philosophy - humanity to
others.
yes totally agree and by all means pull me up if I come across a tad
blunt - I tend to be that way - i.e. I will call a spade a spade. If
your ever after an honest opinion I'm your man :)
Paul
P.S. It might make it a little friendlier when you give us a name to
call you... ;-)
