Split Meeting Location
The meeting starts at 6:30 PM on Wednesday the 17th at the NEW LOCATION of The Mac Store. They are moving to Valley River Center, in the main corridor to the west of the food court. We will tour the new store location and EMUG members will enjoy a 5% discount on any purchase made during the tour. Dick Lennox will lead this segment of the meeting. Around 7:15 we will leave VRC and return to our normal meeting place at the Veterans Memorial Building.
Our friends at KLCC are making a special effort to get the word out on the split meeting. They are having a “cyber-day” (April 1) and Thon-Buster activities on April 1st. They are part of National Public Radio and deserve our support.
For those who miss the tour and show up at the Veterans location, Kerry Baird will host a Macintosh Mystery Hour from 6:30 PM until the return of the tour group. After this, we will take a first look at Quicken Essentials for Mac. As usual, discussions may range far and wide.
Bring your questions. Bring your answers. Bring a friend!
Kerry,
My dad purchased, and then promptly returned Quicken Essentials because it does NOT have a check printing feature. So if you use Quicken to print your checks, you need to look elsewhere. After doing some research for my dad, I started using Moneydance and just got him converted a few days ago.
If you just do basic tracking of your bank accounts, then essentials is fine.. Otherwise, stick with what you have, or look @ other financial software. Here’s a link to reviews of alternatives.
