Say it ain't so, Joe!

Parent article: The Grumpy Editor's next project

"our business accounting is done using a well-known, proprietary, small business bookkeeping tool"

Please tell me that it at least runs on a unix-like OS and that its name doesn't start with a 'Q'!

Probably not, sbergman27. In the article, our Grumpy Editor mentioned: "Plus there's that proprietary operating system that the bookkeeping application depends on." Sounds like the Windows monster to me. :-)

I was holding out hope that it might have been one of those great well-known, proprietary, small business bookkeeping tools that run on HP/UX and don't start with 'Q'. ;-)
