Why do you all think that Quicken for the Mac has been discontinued? From MacWeek: <http://www.zdnet.com/macweek/mw_1215/nw_quicken.html> \|> Intuit stops developing Quicken for the Mac \|> \|> By Clifford Colby (<clifford_colby@macweek.com>) \|> \|> Intuit Inc. announced today that it was ending development of \|> the Mac version of Quicken. \|> \|> Intuit spokesman Adam Samuels said the company halted work \|> because sales for the Mac version have declined over the past \|> three years. \|> \|> The company said the last Mac version of its popular personal \|> finance software is Quicken 98, released last fall (see \|> story). Intuit said it will continue to sell and support \|> Quicken 98 for the Mac. \|> \|> Samuels said the company will reassign its Mac engineers to \|> its Web site. Through Quicken 98, users can access up-to-date \|> financial information on Intuit sites. \|> \|> Samuels said the decision does not affect MacInTax, the \|> company's tax-preparation software for the Mac. Samuels said \|> MacInTax sales continue to grow, and Intuit intends to release \|> a new version this fall. The next version of Quicken for \|> Windows is also expected in the fall. Intuit Inc. of Menlo \|> Park, Calif., can be reached at (415) 944-6000 or (800) \|> 446-8848; fax (415) 322-1013; <www.intuit.com>.
