i too am a myob user..
i use moneydance for personal finance management, and it shows a lot of promise, but
java can be a bit of a pain re resources at times, and it really doesnt contain
enough functionality for serious business applications.
basically, we need a myob port:)

we run vmware on an AMD k6-266 with 64 mb ram...need more ram to make it faster, but
each new release of the beta gets faster..and apparently the beta contains many
testing tools that slow it down. we run win98 on it.

i use homesite4 on our vmware, cause i cant be bothered even using the third machine
on our network which is win98. hate leaving the comfort zone of linux to deal with
bloatware.
