Wow! That’s a pretty sweet bundle. I’ve always used QuickBooks for Mac, primarily because that’s what my accountant uses, so I can’t speak to AccountEdge Pro—but I am curious as well.
BTW, what about some of the other apps? Is there anything else in the lot that makes this a must buy?

The only other app that looks remotely interesting to me is Screenflow. It’s probably the best screencasting app right now. However, I’ve already got Camtasia (as part of a bundle), and it’s not even guaranteed that you will get Screenflow with the bundle.
ScreenFlow is marvelous if you want to make screencasts. It’s very highly recommended.

I used AccountEdge years ago but gave up on it because of frustration after frustration.
Let’s start with the claim that you don’t need to know accounting. They don’t tell you that you need to understand double-entry. If you want support you have to pay for it. For some reason, when I created PDF invoices, they’d often come out at the wrong size. There were other issues I had that I’ve since forgotten the details.
Granted, this was years ago so they may have improved. I see there’s a free 30-trial on their web site. I’d recommend giving that a shot and seeing how you get on with it.
Looks like Screencast will be included (about 800 more sales needed in
the next five hours).

Walter, I just tried ScreenFlow and you’re right. It’s fantastic! Especially for the special price. Much easier to use than iMovie and perfect for my limited video editing needs. Plus, you get screen capture!
I do have one question though. When I export a video I’ve noticed that the fans in my MBP ramp way up. I’m assuming this is normal behavior, but I just wanted to check.
Video transcoding and compression takes serious guts from your processor. The fans going nuts is definitely normal. It’s also why Apple will sell all the Mac Pros they can make to video production people.
