Disgusted at Windows CE

Refalm:
PalmOS has a lot of BeOS code in it.

Yes, I know all too well.  I wanted a color display back when I thought I would still work in both worlds (open and closed source.)  So I bought a Jornada based on the strength of HP's powerful handhelds (CX41, 48SX, 48GX) that I used in my work.  I wanted RPN calculation and this model had it and it had a good design on the exterior, but the innards were CE.  I am still trying to rationalize the expense.

i traded my iPaq for two computers. a p3 650 & a p2 450, both working, both fully functional. Was much better than the iPaq. the only thing i miss about it was the money app. i would be out, shopping etc, and i could just input all of my spending as i went, then when i got home, it would sync with money on my pc. That is the only thing. but. i do have a check book. i could always use that  ;)

Calum:
"sync with money on the PC"?
do you mean "microsoft money"? my ex flatmate used that religiously. it used to dial microsoft every time he started it up. he didn't know why and it didn't worry him.

if i ever use such a program it will be gnucash i think.

baggab:
Yes, of all M$'s insidious creatures Money is the one!  It wants to take over browser duties, make endless copies of itself, and report back to the mother ship.

Gnucash is very solid and you can import all Money and Quicken files into it.  Transaction splits are a problem for all three programs.
