Derek Jordan is an accountant and is visually impaired. He can receive
list e-mail, but can not send at this time. I have agreed to send his
comments about Money Talks on to the list.
Derek finds the program to be, on the whole, very accessible and well
designed.
HE finds the narrow-widen columns feature, minimum balance, and a
number of other features very useful.
He suggests:
1. include a category for groceries
2. Provide a category summary that includes the list of entries for
that category, not average amounts only. Provide a way to print and
emboss this summary for taxes and other purposes.
3. In account properties, provide a field for type of account:
checking, savings, Credit Card, 401K, etc. Individual account types
might offer different categories.
4. Is it possible to provide a report across accounts to show an
overall picture of where someone is financially?
For example, doing a credit/debit summary report or a category summary
report across a series of user-designated accounts?
