Comment Talking to one of those who worked on the case... (Score 4, Interesting) 159

I had one of the people working on the case come talk to my college class. The documents provided to the law office were on paper. The office had an impressive cluster of computers used to do optical code recognition on all the documents so that they could be indexed and searched. There were tons of documents. It was not easy technically, and they worked a lot of hours.

The person I talked to always hoped someone would take this on. They couldn't give up their work for public domain, but there was a ton of computer history contained in those files.

I've used MS Money since 1994 because:
A.) Back then they had a really long free trial period.
B.) I had no way to get my data out of MS Money once it was entered. (QIF exports don't count.)

I hope Quicken is able to make a decent conversion tool, I'd hate to lose 15 years of data.

We were required to use it at a bank I worked at. We had a CVS repository and wrote a script to occasionally move stuff over to clearcase.

CVS required almost no administration, and the clearcase repository had a whole team dedicated to its maintenance.

I've started the migration from SVN to Git. Once I learned not to 'git push' to a repository with working files, I've found it works well for me.
