You might take another look  http://www.gnucash.org
Windows versions, too.  Disclaimer: I don't know anything about it.

Amusingly, I still use dBase3.  Apparently, I started in 1986; I now 
have 23 pairs of files, expenses and income for each year.  I started 
running dBase3 under DRDOS and then set it up to run under dosemu under 
Linux and have been running it that way since about 1992.  The box 
where dBase3 lives is a Caldera OpenLinux, kernel version 2.0.33; it 
hasn't been touched in years and only goes down when we have a power 
failure.  I still telnet into it because ssh was not commonly used 
during that era and installing ssh would be a daunting and risky 
project.  I've thought several times about setting up a more modern 
accounting system such as gnucash.  But, it's like the website; it's 
easier not to change.
