> a personal finance program comparable to Quicken ...

Until recently, I never used a finance program because I used to have a
job and without being rich didn't really worry too much about making
ends meet ... then I became unemployed, and harsh realities like
rent-paying demand a higher level of control.

So I've taken to tracking my finances with Gnucash. It's free software,
available for GNU/Linux systems like d:b, it's very easy to use, and it
will import Quicken files. Gnucash differs from quicken in that it's
really a double entry accounting system but I don't think that'll be a
problem. I find it very convenient to track my finances, at least.

I do some coding (scripting) but it's mostly in MS-DOS scripting language or a "Variant" of Basic. (Users of Basic might get that joke -- Variant is a undesirable catch-all data type in VB and VBS.) One thing I noticed is that the packages that I downloaded from Extras have a .exe extension that has to be removed (renamed) before they'll get loaded. Perhaps that info should be added to the website?
