HOW OLD CAN IT BE??!!  This client is used to DMAS, for goodness sake ;-)!
The last time I saw N/Compass, at least it was native, offered source, and
allowed customer customization of field sizes and attributes.  Glitzy?  I'll
take functionality over glitz any day.  Don't know about Peachtree, but the
more history I get on Quickbooks (I use it myself), the longer it takes to
load the GIGANTIC single file that holds all its data -- wouldn't offer it to
a business of more than two people.

At first, probably 75% of the 30 employees will be users.  Later on, that
percentage will drop.
