Apple's Lion Creates Dilemma For Older Quicken Fans

Intuit's "Quicken 2007 for the Mac" users have a problem. The personal financial accounting software is not going to work under Lion, Apple's new OS 10.7, due to be released as early as Wednesday. Intuit suggests three solutions. But each has its own flaws, especially if you want to track investments, reconcile your financial statements or not have to buy 3 software programs or a PC. There are non-Intuit alternatives out there, each with their own fan base. None of them match Quicken 2007, a far-from-perfect but still very useful, powerful program.Software is supposed to get better over time, but for Mac home accounting users, that's not the case. One of the very first killer 'apps' for Apple computers was VisiCalc, a spreadsheet program used by some to balance checkbooks, track credit cards and determine net worth. We've come a long way since then, but for Mac users looking for a traditional and full featured personal accounting program, there is no easy solution.
