[TriLUG] quickbooks vs sql-ledger

[Jason Tower]

i'm incorporating my company next month and will have to start using 
-something- to maintain the books, and sql-ledger is at the top of the 
list.  there's a good article on it in last month's linux journal.  i'm 
not migrating from anything other than a few openoffice spreadsheets, 
so that's not an issue for me.

although quickbooks is the defacto standard, i just can't stomach the 
thought of using a windows-only app for my linux-based business.  
ryan's shoebox page won't load in either konq or moz, so that off the 
list entirely (why oh why would a company deliberately design their web 
page to exclude non-IE browsers, *especially* when your product is 
SUPPOSED TO RUN ON LINUX!!!!!  i mean what kind of grade-A fscking 
moron would do that?  no offense to ryan, but gee what a shock they 
don't have much of a user base)

anyway, i'll probably be tinkering with sql-ledger next week.  if anyone 
wants to make a day of it, we'll have a little sql-ledger class at my 
place :-)
