The best accounting system I have ever known AMS' FFS was written in COBOL on CICS and IBM mainframe.

I got Office 2003 working in WIne perfectly as well.

Oracle's footing on this is very weak. They are trying to wring out some quick money from a recent acquisition. Google is very large and will not give up lightly.

As maligned as F-Spot is it is now up to release 0.7.0. It has fixed a lot of bugs - is much faster and seems to moving in the right direction. Given that Shotwell is still feature abridged and is...
