I was just bitching about how crap Windows Vista was with all it's non-compatability. this helps a little... but I still hate that damn OS, Can't wait to move to Mac.

Yeah, we've been using Turbocash for a couple of years now. If you'd like to be in contact with me, there are some ideas I could suggest which might improve the uptake. Not so much from the software itself, but more from a marketing/appearance perspective. Either way, I wish you all the best, and it will be great to have an open source ware that can rival the big boys like Pastel and Quickbooks. Hi Philip, thanks for commenting.

I am using PrimoPDF on my machine, but since I use Open Office, I don't use it much for document 2 pdf conversions. PDFCreator wasn't compatable with Windows Vista when I was looking. I'll check out Audacity, thanks. Enjoy Freemind and Pidgin. Thanks Simunza. I am using PrimoPDF on my machine, but since I use Open Office, I don’t use it much for document 2 pdf conversions.

I also run Vista and use PDFCreator to save my documents in PDF format and Audacity to chop and change edit files - mostly for personal ring tones. I'm off to download Freemind and Pidgin.
