for files using the business functions but that then detracts considerably
from its usefulness as a general diagnostic tool.
I'm respecting you more as we progress, DavidC.
The broad point is that a normalization is without opinion or value.
No person would know if you had run your business successfully or not.
The fear is "the government will know I earned 20AUD on a contract and I
didn't report".
struth is your government has much larger issues to deal with, ask them
to to pay attention to that. That is, if you can manage one government
for more than 3 fucking months at a time!

Point: MYOB is respected in Oz, Liz says so, it must be true. Rest of
the world doesn't give a flying fuck about whether it is a good double
accounting prog or not.

Sqlite itself and its availability on Linux is not really an issue. Most
distros have it in their software repositories. What may be more of an issue
is that a lot of people who don't use the database backends because they
don't want the additional hassles of learning to use and maintain databases
may be reluctant to install it.
True, I think this is also a red herring, most people are using Windows
and SQLite comes with gnc for free.
Shouldnt you be asking why more people aren't using what they already have?
I'm retired.
Disagree, your mind is still active :)
Taking an extra half day to learn something
new doesn't worry me as long as it happens before my time is up. But if I am
running a busy lfe and/or a business as I used to, I would be more
reluctant. Again not a show stopper, only a limitation on general
applicability.

Have a hug.
