[Novalug] Windows virtualiation

[Rich Goodwin]

I use MoneyDance as opposed to Quicken since I like it more than Quicken
and it runs natively on Linux.  It will download from banks using
QIF/OFX.  There's an active mail list and a wiki for support.  There are
spurts where someone finds a bank/credit union which does not work.
Sean Reilly, owner/developer of MD, monitors the mail list regularly.

Remember, all Windows machines are, by definition, fault tolerant.

              They run Windows don't they!!
