    I haven’t logged on in a long while, but after the above message, I couldn’t resist… On 10/17/2014 my computer running 5.9 gave up so I went and bought a brand new unit running Win8.1, quad core, 4gb memory, 1Tb hard drive, and based on a Mitchel rep telling me I couldn’t load 5.9 on it, updated to 6.5. I can’t STAND it! It’s buggy, as in, it hangs, it’s slow, it constantly has to be re-activated, certain typing entries are misinterpreted (sometimes typing in the “work requested” or similar boxes either exits that box, or once, closed the entire program. The only “virus” this computer could have had was “windows”, but there’s no getting around that one. And NO, I DON’T want another rep getting ahold of this one as I don’t want all my settings wiped out as they did to make my other computer stand in as a temp with 5.9 while I purchased this one. I just wanted to make it clear the “it has a virus” statement doesn’t hold water when the program is unstable on a system right out of the box.

    Edit: reckon I spoke when I shouldn’t have… I just hit F5 to input a payment, entered customer number, no auto fill, entered it again, nada, entered it then tabbed, nope, hit done, program exited asking me to back up. At least it got that right (the backup, not the bailing out). Sorry to go on, but to hear someone on the inside promoting this, well, it needs work! The previous did me well since 2005 or 2006.
