   This is not realy helpful is it. If you have the time, experinece
   and are willing to fix it if it goes wrong, why not. Some companys
   regaurd spending money but not there employees time with obhorence.

There is much much more to accounting than what a relational database
provides.  Why would you want to throw away several months of your
life duplicating a <$1000 software package that you don't plan to
market?  It's crazy.
