 - The real deal and totally worth the priceThe picture is missing, the title isn't spelled right (should be MYOB FirstEdge v3), but OK, I can live with that. If you are hesitating to buy from Amazon because of this, don't worry. The box arrived slightly dented because they sent it in a cheap bubble envelope rather than a box, but the contents were still intact, fortunately and if you buy multiple items together I'm sure they'll put it all in a proper box for you instead. Yes, FirstEdge can do a lot more for you than Quicken/Quickbooks, and I am looking forward to exploring all the features. They say it will even process credit cards (for a fee), something which Quickbooks can't even do and that is much more expensive than FirstEdge. For me, I am switching from Quickbooks because I am just fed up reading other people's frustrations that Intuit provides bad customer service and an inferior product, and I'm afraid that my New User Edition of Quickbooks will soon run out of steam (i.e., it'll force me to upgrade or shut down). I used to have Quickbooks 4 before they started coming out with basically useless upgrades, so for a number of years I've been sitting on the fence. One person wrote that MYOB was not very good, and that kept me from switching. See what one negative review can do? Well, sometimes you just have to go with your gut feeling and this is one of those moments. If you are hesitating to switch from an Intuit program, I would recommend that you give MYOB a try, and they didn't pay me to say this. They sell their product all over the world, and hey, we all know how Quickbooks and Quicken work, and can it really get worse from there for this kind of money? I think this version 3 of FirstEdge is a great step forward.
