I hope that after youвЂ™ve read this review, you can truly make an informed decision on your next Personal Finance software purchase for the Macintosh. Why Bother? The rest was history and led me to talking with multiple people at Intuit, including a discussion with Aaron Patzer, VP/GM of Personal Finance at Intuit, and having discussions with folks at IGG Software, the developers of iBank. That prompted me to write my second ever blog post, Quicken Essentials 2010 for Mac. Not only was the new product missing key features, that were present in my 4 year-old version of Quicken, but there was no upgrade pricing, and only a moderate discount for pre-ordering ($10). I immediately became livid at what I perceived to be a complete and total betrayal of the loyalty, patience, and trust I had provided to Intuit. As soon as I published that article, I happened to get my Quicken Essentials pre-order email from Inuit.

I was upset, disgruntled, and needed an outlet. When I setup this site, it was to communicate a security flaw I discovered in the Pogoplug home NAS device.

I didnвЂ™t set out to be a spokesperson for the legacy Quicken for Mac users, but it seems to have worked out that way, at least a little, and IвЂ™m awed at the passion people have for this space and the wonderful comments everyone has left on my blog. This article will be the culmination of my adventure into Macintosh personal finance software. This is my review of Quicken Essentials for Mac ( QEM as as my fellow bloggers seem to have dubbed it, I donвЂ™t think that rolls of the tongue, so IвЂ™ll just use Quicken Essentials). I havenвЂ™t deleted it off of my system yet, but I will shortly. Update вЂ“ 20120712: I was wrong, this is still a great article, but I gave up on Intuit and any and all of their Macintosh software, see my latest post here.ДЄs I mentioned in my last article, iBank вЂ“ Your Quicken Alternative, IвЂ™ve entered my last transaction into Quicken 2007 for Mac.
