Question Personal Finance Recommendations?

Hey all -

I'm on the verge of making "The Switch" and the only software for which I haven't found any user reviews is a personal finance package. I'm using Quicken 2004 at the moment, but have heard nasty things about their Mac version. Hell, I haven't been all that pleased with their Windows version for that matter. Liquid Ledger looks promising, but I'd like to hear from anyone who has used either. Other recommendations would be welcome as well, of course.

Thanks for any insight and suggestions.

Rob

I found a program called CashBox on opensourcemac.org. Might be something you could use.

I'm a long time quicken user and it will give it a resounding ho-hum.
It does the job, but is the least Mac-like program I use.

Thanks for those links. I've been using Quicken 2005 for a while but have been unsatisfied with it.

I have a MacBook Pro 17" Core 2 Duo on order that will replace my current Windows laptop. On the Windows laptop, I use MS Money 2006 and I suspect that I will continue to use it on my MBP by running it inside a Parallels VM.
