Anyone giving away a GPS?

Okay, I know this is a strange blog topic, but I really want a GPS -- so I wondered if there may be someone out there who has an old one and isn't using it and doesn't really know what to do with it. I would be happy to take it and put it to good use. :-) I'd even blog about it and give you full credit for the gift. Anyway, I figured it couldn't hurt to ask. (big grin)

Decompression for Back Pain - Does it work?

Hi all -- I'm interested in trying the back decompression machine that chiropractors are tauting as helping those with back pain. I was injured in a fall two years ago and still am trying to recover. I've heard that the decompression machines will help those that even surgery does not help.

If you've used the machine and had success (or not), I would really like to hear from you. It's quite expensive and I don't want to try that route until I know if it will work. They claim they have about an 80% success rate.

Anyway, I'd love to get any feedback. Thanks

Quickbooks vs. Quicken

I just started using Quickbooks 2007 Pro, and have used Quicken for years. But now I'm tracking more than one business, as well as my personal finances. I really like both programs, but don't know which would work best for my needs. I thought that maybe I should upgrade my Quicken to the latest version and keep using that for my personal finances -- and then also use Quickbooks for my business needs.

There is actually a version of Quicken -- Home and Business version that I probably should get. But I've already installed Quickbooks 2007 Pro and it's been over the 60 return policy -- so I hate to not use it. Has anyone used the Quicken Home and Business version -- and what do you think of it?

Maybe I could sell the Quickbooks on eBay (since I don't need to do payroll) and then get the Quicken Home and Business version which might do everything I want. I'd love some advice. Anyone have any suggestions on which accounting software would be best for my needs?
