[muglo] Mac Small Business/Contractor Applications

I'm in need of updating my record-keeping as a small 
business/self-employed contractor.

For reporting purposes, I currently keep track of vehicle [mileage. 
gas, maintenance, parking etc] and home-office [office supplies, 
rent/utilities, phone etc] expenses using simple Excel spreadsheets. 
The difficulty I have is that the cell formats do not transfer if I 
copy and paste onto a new sheet within a workbook. IIt used to do this 
when I had the G4 but now I have to manually go in and re-program the 
formats into the cells. Also, there are limitations to what I can 
create using my own skill and knowledge. I use several files to store 
information but need to do each one individually.

I'm considering obtaining a new program with ready-made invoice, 
record, time-sheet etc  templates where information is correlated 
within several documents/files rather than me having to go into each 
one to add information individually to the fields/cells. I currently 
hold 30 contracts. I am not incorporated so reporting is simply for 
planning and income tax purposes.

Can someone provide me feedback on what program[s] you use for small 
business/contractor purposes or what you might suggest I try?

G3 [slow]
10.3.9 [slow]

Now, if I could only afford to upgrade my computer as well!!!

Thanks

Theresa
