Makes sense Win2K is no longer supported.

I make an appointment at H&R, go there with all the paper work, the man
fills out the forms [in what really looks like a Borland OWL app!], and
then he hands me an envelope to stick the check in and mail.

When I get home I write the check, enter that into GNUcash, and mail the
envelope.

All 100% LINUX/GNOME compatible and hassle free.
