We will want it to be a PC, since we keep financial records on it and are not as comfortable with software for doing that on the Mac.

I think the answer to this is no, but I'll ask, can you still get an Extended Keyboard laptop, with the numpad keys on it running Windows 7 64-bit?

We use Money Talks to manage our checkbook and write checks. Is APH even supporting it anymore, and does it run on 8.1?
