Accounting Software from an Accountant

As I sit here working on my old Quickbooks because it still works and it is all I need. I notice it is 2001 Pro version. Yes 2001, I have the software for 16 years. The computer or machine that has the data on it is not connected to the internet so I do not have to worry that anyone will steal my information. It’s not that I don’t own a smart phone. It’s just that Marketing has convinced us that anything old doesn’t work. Yes it does work. They politely say, “We do not support that version any longer.” But wait they do have a new costly version that they support. Or better yet. Go to the cloud where everything is safe in heaven and we can charge you for the rest of your life. Don’t you feel better now. (My sarcastic article for February 2017)
