Finally have three computers completely up and running. New iMac is awesome and successfully erased and installed Mavericks on my old MBPro and iMac so they are now pretty fast for what I need them for. Huge amount of work in the end but worth it. Had to buy and old Magic Mouse 1 for the MBPro, Mavericks wouldn't recognize the new Mouse 2 I had allowing for critical finger scrolling in images. And lots of other little things I won't bore you with.
In other news, I read the letter from QuickBooks better. After May I won't be able to us QB15 and do payroll and talk to my bank, both of which are critical for me. It's not that QB won't support 15 for these tasks, they are pulling the functionality. So **** you QB, I'll shell out the $200 for 18.
Quick note on Parallels. The reason I got Parallels now is I got it when I needed it running a custom MS Access app I wrote for Traveler Kids invoicing and inventory management. QB was secondary. So for me, Parallels is the devil I know and easy to reason that the $100 for Parallels that works perfectly is cheap compared to something I have no idea how to use, will it be bulletproof like Parallels, etc.
There was a time when I needed more money than time. Now it's the exact opposite. And I make a lot more $ with more time than anything else.
In conclusion, Adobe and QuickBooks are greedy ****s and suck. And life is good here at Tru6 World Headquarters with 3 computers and a new assistant.
