One of my biggest problems with other programs is the connection between a 
payment and an address.   I like to be able to enter a one-time check, print 
it, and stuff it in an envelope.  Most programs seem to want you to make an 
address entry for that one-time payment, then make out the check and select 
an address for it.  A lot of extra steps.

Am downloading CBT now...  hopefully it works better in that regard.
