The very fact that there isn't a program called Quicken 2010 for
Macintosh should have stopped you in the first place. It's called
Quicken Essentials for Mac, and simply reading Intuit's description
would have saved you the time and effort. They're quite clear on which
features are lacking but present in Quicken 2007 for Macintosh, which
they're still selling. The fact that they're still selling that one is
another clue.

I'm trying to switch to another product. Since my old Quicken file went
bad late last year and I need to re-enter things anyway, this is as good
a time to do it as any.

The problem is that I want the new program to do my
checking/savings/credit-card, as well as loans, investments, and
auto-updating of balances. I'm not sure which product to use.

With such arithmetical acuity, who needs Intuit??

For me it's considerably less than 2-3 minutes but probably longer than
15 seconds. However, my banks and credit cards all have switched to
using only web connect anyway, going directly from Quicken is no longer
an option and hasn't been for several years for all but one, and that
one's been at least one year. They claim it's somehow for security
reasons.

The point is that web connect seems to be the favored method anyway and
will possibly become the only one before long. Quicken 2006-2007 should
not stop working.
