Dan,
I'm using Smith Barney, Fidelity, Wachovia, and Chase. Never use
Q.com.
I'm far from a newbie either, so don't expect Quicken to do anything
too unusual or even perfectly. It beats anything I could do manually
by far. Out of curiousity what kinds of things are newbies expecting
out it? There *are* some flaws ( or weird behavior), which I think
I'll address separately, but I've gotten so used to them that I just
overlook them. I can imagine my sister having a fit as a newbie with
a few things if I could get her to use Quicken. She prefers to look
at the bottom line on her brokerage statement and thinks she knows
where she stands financially :{
