In Praise of Framers and QuickBooks Pro 2008

[John Hedtke]

I write accounting software reviews for Accounting Technology 
magazine this time every year.  (This year's covered several 
different versions of Peachtree, MS Office Accounting Professional, 
QB Pro and QB Premier, MYOB, and Simply Accounting.)  MS Office 
Accounting Express is definitely free and may be adequate for simple 
bookkeeping at the level Rick may need.  It tends to like using MS 
Office 2007, but that's not an absolute essential as I recall.

Yours truly,
