I have used Pocket Quicken Connect with Quicken Versions 3 and 4 for Windows
(running under Win95 and 3.1) with success. Basically the advantage is to use
your Zoomer to enter transactions as they happen (ie withdrawing cash,
transferring funds etc), you can then download these into your main Quicken
program when you get back to your PC, to keep your bank records balanced. Once
these transactions are downloaded they are then "marked" so that they are not
repeated on subsequent downloads.

Hope I could be of some help.

Now that I've had my Zoomer for a short while, (Thanks Radio Shack!) I've got a
c ouple of questions:

1) I've found a demo for Graffitti and I've tried it. I think this is software
th at I need.
a) Who has the best price? (RS has it for $69.99)
b) In the demo all text is input via a box in the lower left corner of the
sc
reen; does 'real' Graffitti work this way? Does Graffitti work with all
applicati ons on the Zoomer? In other words, does it becomes a fully integrated
part of the
OS?
c) How much space does it require on the Zoomer?

2) Does anyone know of way to utilize the IR port on the Zoomer for more than
jus t Zoomer - Zoomer transfers? Does a PC serial to IR port dohickey exist? If
not, is there any interest in hacking together some hardware/software to do
this?

3) Can someone tell me how I can delete the zaol.geo application from my B:
drive ? I'd like to get the 190K for other things to use. I know that on a hard
reset i t would be copied back onto the drive, that's okay. I would just like to
get rid of it since I *never* use it.

4) Does anyone know of a process I can use to move a todo item to another day?
i. e. - I enter a todo item for some future date, but the date I put it on is
incorr ect and I need to change it to some date further in the future.

5) Is anyone using Pocket Quicken link? What version of Quicken on the PC will
th is work with? (I have 5.0) What functionallity do you get from making the
link an d transfering the file?

Lastly, to all you veterans out there, thanks for your past input to Zoomer
issue s. I've learned alot lurking and reading the digest. Keep in mind with the
low pr ices on the existing Z-PDA's there will be a lot of 'fresh blood' looking
to the list for help getting up to speed. Thanks again.
