Is not Quicken and/or QuickBooks fairly inexpensive already?  At least
in the case you want to use various support services?  It's those
service alliances that you pay for.

Under Linux, GNUCash does _both_ personal financial _and_ small
business accounting.  It replaces _both_ Quicken and QuickBooks.  And
it imports/exports many standard (and reverse engineered, older
proprietary) formats, including several on-line/Internet formats.  But
because it's Open Source, it will never establish industry
relationships that might be advantageous to pay for.

Just wondering.
