It is, but the "free" offer goes up to $30.00 US for "Shipping and Handling"
as soon as you are outside Continental US. I still don't understand how
a product that would expectantly sell for maybe $60.00 US costs $30.00
S&H...but there are many things in the world I cannot understand...
> *How much space (kB) does Pocket Quicken require (excluding user data)?
the executable file is 115 KB, and you need approx. 20K for about six months
of transactions per transaction file.

yes. As a matter of fact, the serial cable is the only thing you need
for installing any software, as long as you get the PD installer
program. The Pocket Quicken includes the installer file with it, and as
far as I can tell, it's the same version as the one available on the net.
> *Is it possible to access multiple quicken files (e.g. 1995.pdt,

Here's the quip...it uses its own proprietary files...but you can have as
many as you want...If you want to have it transportable, you need the
Expensable connection package for I believe an extra $20.00 US (and extra
s&h) which will allow you to export the OGO Pocket Quicken info to your
PC's Quicken.

The only text you can enter is a one-line memo field on a transaction, or
attach a OGO note to the transaction file (one per transaction file).
The only way you might be able to use your 200LX Quicken files with the
OGO is with the extra package I mentioned above.
> 2) Notes
> *Is there a limit to the size of a note?
I haven't seen any real limitations, but I would expect the limitation
would be available memory. I have worked on notes that are equivalent to
2-3 printed pages without problems.

I am not sure you CAN run BAT files...you might be able to by adding a
"call x.bat" to the end of the autoexec.bat file and doing a soft-reset.
Otherwise, I don't know if you could run any BAT files, there isn't
anything like a DOS shell.

WHERE!?!?!? Which article?!?! I would LOVE to see my OGO have 8 MB RAM!!!!

I do not know, sorry.
