One of the tasks that delayed my recent effort to migrate completely off using the Windows operating system was that I needed a new system for tracking my time and generating invoices. I used to use a custom Microsoft Access database that I created quite a few years ago, called Poplar Solo, which is available for free download on poplarware.com (and it works fine, if you have Microsoft Access available). But obviously, if I was not going to use Windows, I needed a different solution.
