QuickBooks 6 did not get released until 2003.  Also, stating that QBO is useless is just an uneducated opinion.  You have not worked in QBO or you would not say this.  It is an awesome program, and much easier to use than Desktop.  If you think Sage will be easier than QBO, you will be very disappointed.  There is no corrected journal entries in Sage.  You have to reverse the incorrect and re enter.  It gets pretty crazy if you posted a journal entry incorrect.  I would never use Sage again.  No other accounting software compares to Intuit.
