You are -joking-. Really? That's gone? I'm flabbergasted. That's the
single reason I have rejected every other accounting package over the
years - I'm serious, it's that important to me.


> Complacency. Lack of customer focus. That's the disease that Intuit has.

That truly does smack of it, yes. Looks like I'm on VMware/Quicken 2002
for a -long- time to come then.


Cheers,
Ian

Now it only works for cash accounts. It used to work for any account.

I used to have the calendar graph display the total of my checking and
credit card accounts, so I could see when I use the credit card too much.

From Q2005 onward, I cannot put the credit card balances into the total for
the financial calendar graph.

That's annoying - I also put any card balance on the graph. Hmm. Ah
well, here's hoping the rewrite might bring something I'm interested in
then.

Cheers,
Ian

I had other words besides "annoying"... Think about it, I pay for a
product upgrade, only to see features that I use be removed in the new
version.

The gutting of the financial calendar balance graph and the removal of
stock price trimming... I have to wonder what bright spark at Intuit
thought the removal of those was a good idea.
