It's strange how you can slow down any Windows running computer that you
get your hands on ;-)
As the owner of a copy of Personal Accountz I can assure you it isn't at
all slow - in fact it's one of the fastest Windows programs I've ever come
across to load up. In operation it is certainly very quick in everything
it does.
As for the GUI, http://www.accountz.com/pazsc.pdf will give you
screenshots.
I presume that, as it was considered as an alternative to Prophet - which
is slow - your friend was actually using Business Accountz and not
Personal Accountz. Although I no longer use BA and traded down to PA, I
can assure you that BA is just as quick as PA on a half decent Windows
machine.
I can't really see why software such as Ovation Pro shouldn't run under
Java and be portable between OSs - which is where we came in.
Cheers,
