I saw your post about the book "Serve God, Save the Planet", and I thought that you might like to know that our organization sponsors its author, Dr. Matthew Sleeth, as a "creation care evangelist." We would love for you to check us out at our website, en.arocha.org/usa. You might also be interested in the website for Dr. Sleeth's book, www.servegodsavetheplanet.org , and in the book "It's Easy Being Green," which Dr. Sleeth's daughter Emma wrote.

]]> Comment on ABC/ESPN doesn’t get it by Al http://www.wrighters.net/blog/articles/2006/10/07/abc-espn-doesnt-get-it/comment-page-1/#comment-9 Al Fri, 13 Oct 2006 12:54:36 +0000 #comment-9 It's probably like baseball. I hate that Fox has all the broadcast rights for Saturday games - even with my subscription I can't see anything other than what's being broadcasted. I could see it a day later on Sunday but watching games when you already know the score kinda stinks. Everyone seems so scared of losing total control that they're missing good opportunities to make money. Ridiculous. It’s probably like baseball.

I got it today, and it has been much more stable - no crashes so far and I have reconciled a statement and imported a QIF file. Looks like there’s an iBank update just out, version 2.1.2 (185).

The interface is a mess and there's a lot there that isn't very intuitive, but for keeping track of where the money goes it works out okay. What bank are you using? Maybe they have a suggestion. I know there are a couple other programs for the Mac, but Quicken still remains the king (or court jester in their case). You're right, though. There's little else out there. If you want my copy from my mini, since I don't use Quicken on the PPC anymore, let me know. I’ve been using Quicken and I don’t think it’s too bad.
