I've got a few years of data in Quicken that I'd like to have in something else. Importing a QIF to Moneydance is horrible. It treats an initial import like a partial account update that needs to be synced with potentially already entered data. This results in, for me, thousands of transactions that I would have to click Record on, and the overwhelming majority of those I'd first have to select New Transaction (No Match) to keep Moneydance from dropping the transaction. It also doesn't import the transaction category. Without a useful import, I won't even bother looking at any other features.

I have 2 hard drives for use with Time Machine on a 12" PowerBook and a 15" MacBook Pro. Backup and restore work like the disk is plugged in locally. But the driver does not handle the Mac going to sleep. You must disconnect the disk volume before the system goes to sleep. Also, you must eject the volume before you disconnect it (ejecting doesn't disconnect either). I have not tested this with other USB devices.
