Message-ID: <50254@mcdchg.chg.mcd.mot.com> Date: 15 Nov 90 00:15:13 GMT References: <1990Nov14.180503.15252@portia.Stanford.EDU> Followup-To: comp.os.msdos.apps Organization: Motorola Computer Group, Schaumburg, IL Lines: 17 I have purchased the home accounting package and the tax package from Parsons. I used the tax package to prepare my return last year and found it to be much easier/cleaner than other packages I had used in the past. (In particular, I would *NEVER* by the Lasser program again. After entering all my information, it *lost* a couple of my forms. I had to submit my draft copies. The company sent me an updated version, which had the exact same problem!) No such problems with the Parsons program. The home accounting package does more than I need, is easy to use, and provides good quality reports. Their upgrade policy seems *very* reasonable. For example, I just got a flyer asking if (as a purchaser of last year's tax package) I'd like to buy this year's for 1/2 price. They say they'll send an early version almost immediately, with a final version when the IRS finalizes things. I like 'em! -- Ron Heiby, heiby@chg.mcd.mot.com Moderator: comp.newprod "Give me voice mail or give me drugs!"/"Mandatory Drug Testing? Just Say NO!!!"
