I'm grateful for the download link, for it's enabled me to try out the program. I have to agree with most of the negative comments below. This is a very pretty program that is very Mac-like in several aspects, but for me it's much too feature-limited, especially in regard to missing/hidden security transactions. I find no compelling reason to upgrade from my prior version of Quicken. (Which happens to be Quicken 2002, by the way! Runs fine in Rosetta on 10.6. Big limitation of this old version was loss of ability to import security prices, but I wrote a script to download them from Yahoo into a QIF file which imports nicely into Q2002.)
I used to love KGraph but got frustrated with the slow pace of development. The one thing that kept me coming back was the user-defined curve fit feature I didn't find elsewhere among similarly priced software. If this is important to you, you may wish to invest some time in learning about gnuplot's curve fit options that are more powerful than KGraph's, although with a bit of a learning curve. But hey, it's free.
I'm a longtime DW user and proponent. I probably would have upgraded right away at $15-$20. At $30-$40 I would have waited until I needed it. At $50 (plus $9 shipping) I'll try to forget about DW and reinstall from backups if I crash. Some of the new features added are available from other utilities (e.g. AppleJack).
Their choice to charge so much for an upgrade, my choice not to buy it. Gotta love that capitalism.
No problems here with the update, following my standard procedure:
1. Download and install the standalone combo updater, and
2. Repair permissions immediately afterward.
I'm glad to finally see a Mac OS X version of this program. I got to love it in the days of OS9, but feature-wise it's the same as it was years ago. I hope the developers keep this baby alive.

Now if that isn't a fly in the ointment... Using my AirPort disk is the only reason I would want to use Time Machine in the first place!!

iEmulator appears to be completely derivative of the open-source Q (http://www.kberg.ch/q/). Use Q instead.
