For a Linux user, that's surprisingly mature of you :)

(Sorry, I couldn't resist.  You know, I think I've been biased by all 
those years hanging out with the anti-conformist, throw down the 
government and grow pot in your backyard Linux kids I used to know.  I've 
gotten so tired of all the BS they used to spout that any time MS does 
something right, I feel the need to go around and tell people "Guess what! 
You were wrong about them!"  I really have no problem with Linux on its 
own, I just don't think I'll be using it myself {at least until I give up 
Windows gaming... I thought I had when I got my Xbox, but then I went and 
bought a new graphics card so I've been playing all my old games on higher 
settings...}).

I did like the flexibility that came with it.  And CompizFuzion.  *THAT* 
was cool :)

Funny, the best financial app I've found is actually GnuCash.  But then, I 
don't like the attitude of "This is complicated, so we'll hide it from 
you."
