Bank Genie - 20 years old this year

[ideasguy]

Starting in humble beginnings, its 20 years since Bank Genie was released under the banner
Bank Genie - Software for the Penny Wise. It still is of course!

Before that, since year 2000, it was my software for mad keen plant loving gardeners (like me) and very much my pride and joy Ideas Genie that I poured hundreds of hours development into - hence our business name ideasforgardencom.

I used the basic versions of each of these products for my own personal use dating back to early 1990's for managing my own personal finances. It was a savior (no more extortionate bank fees  )

Each product has been refined, modified and upgraded to Bank Genie 6 and Ideas Genie 6, again with many happy hours intensive development along the way.

I used the original form of Bank Genie when I had to do our first business Tax return and realised it could be useful and put many happy hours development into it to offer it on the internet.
Its now our most popular item

I hope you have enjoyed using any of these items and have found them useful.

Happy birthday. Still here, still writing and gardening. Well done George.

I think I've used it every day for at least 10 years, if not more. Well done George and congratulations.

Happy Birthday BG6

Never been a gardener but have used BG4, 5 & 6 since 2012 on various PCs and Laptops. Perfect for a Yorkshireman who is always careful with money! Religiously updated and balanced almost daily. I watch people tapping their phones willy-nilly and never a receipt and fail to understand how they keep track on their spending. I'm smug knowing I've Bank Genie keeping me solvent!

Thank you George for all the help over the years,

I've not been here for 20 years but certainly it's in double figures.  Use it close to every day and it's invaluable to me in keeping track of our finances.  The help that George gave me when I started using it and particularly when a significant update came out was the sort of support that I wish every piece of software had.

George, hardly a day goes by when I don’t open BG Pro 6—whether it’s to enter new transactions or to look up what I paid for something years ago. I honestly couldn’t be without this software. I had started to wonder if you’d hung up your boots, since I haven’t seen any upgrades offered online lately. But then again, how does one improve on an almost perfect programme, actually in my opinion it is perfect for my needs.

Best wishes

Congratulations George for your personal help, in a number of problem situations, and you have been, (and are) most willing to make yourself available, when this Old Customer requests assistance.
It was especially appreciated by  the staff in a computer shop, to whom you spoke, when I was unable to understand what you asked me to do.
Afterward, he said to me "Now that;s what I call Customer Support"
Thanks for being so patient with me, and Best Wishes for the next 20 years.
