You need to buy the separate quicken transfer kit from Intuit. Any one
know if the kit is compatible to the new Quicken version that just came out?

Interested to hear the answer. Can't find how this is done from the manual.

Anyone know if Graffitti can do delay recognition? Just ordered it today.
Sounds like a must have.

Also, anyone have shareware program to import/export text files to the
Notebook? Palm wants $29.99 for this and other small utilities. Don't
know if its worth it.

FYI. The PC to zoomer cable is available directly from Palm for $19.95.
Also they have a 3 pack of nice full size Zoomer pens for $10.95.
$4 shipping for orders.
