[Trainer-talk] accessible bookkeeping/accounting software?

[Chris R. Johnson]

  Dear helpful trainers of adaptive technology,

What is some good accessible bookkeeping software?  Probably not 
Quickbooks.  Peachtree (2008 at least) works okay but not thoroughly 
(perhaps there are scripts?).  I didn't get very far with the nice and 
free TurboCash.  And the free and advanced Postbooks with Postgresql is 
too complex for me to begin as a program alone right now?
I know the choices are tremendous, but has anyone found something that 
works well for them? even a homemade integration of several programs 
(e.g. Excel, database, mailmerge (for invoices)?
