1.0 out of 5 stars useless, April 7, 2001

This review is from: Quicken(r) 2001 Deluxe For Macintosh: The Official Guide (Paperback)

I bought this book in the hope it would shed some light on the problems with Quicken for Mac 2001. Quicken charges for almost all phone support - which is usually answered by people who are not knowledgable. So - I was looking forward to the book filing the gap.

WRONG! It is a primer at best - albeit a long winded one. It doesn't even tell you have to back up and restore files! I found this particularly astounding since our financial files and knowing how to back up properly is so important.

I almost don't think the woman who wrote this exists - the book is that useless and just a shill by Intuit.

thank goodness Amazon makes returns so easy. I'll just hit the help button on the mac - that is when Quicken figures out how to make help work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent How-To for Quicken and Personal Finance, April 22, 2001

I can't recommend this book enough to Quicken users. Not only does it provide illustrated step-by-step instructions for using Quicken's features, but it includes a wealth of information about personal finance. I learned many new things about investments, loans, and getting out of debt, all of which will help me make and save money. For me, this book went far beyond the basics. It made me smarter about my money. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
