I too like PQ's interface, even if it does "waste" screen space. It's positives are are also very good. However, I use PM for these reasons. 1. Split transactions(multiple catagories per transaction), 2.Multiple currencies, 3. "Frequent Flyer" accounts so I can easily track my business miles, 4. New transactions and accnt balances without opening PM, and lastly, 5. No corrupted data, with everything being lost. (happened twice to me with PQ 1.0) In the end, it's what is important to you that counts. These items ended up swaying me to PM, in spite of the seamless integration of PQ with Quicken. I guess that's why there are both products. :-) -Jon Glass Krakow, Poland ------------------------------ Date: 9 Oct 1999 09:41:41 +0200 From: "jon glass" To: newtontalk@planetnewton.com Subject: Re: NTLK IrDA Message-ID: On Sat, Oct 9, 1999 6:20 AM, NewtonTalk wrote: > Thanks for the reply.

You're quit right, it isn't much. But you can have add some memory. Standard you have 3MB of memory and I believe the system uses about 1 MB of it. With the extra memory you have 9 MB to use! And as an extra feature your eMate becomes 32 bit instead of 16, so it's also 2 times faster. I don't know if this answers your question as it'll cost you about $100,- to get the memory upgrade.

Please DO NOT use rubbing alcohol on your eMate's pen holders! Alcohol causes rubber and synthetic rubber to harden and crack! You should use a cotton swab (I won't say the Q word because they aren't paying me. ;-D ) and a solution of light dish detergent and warm water. If you want to be really clean, yank them out of the socket and stick them in the dishwasher (taking care to put them in a secure place). You should take them out during the drying cycle although it shouldn't hurt if you forget. (that's how I clean extremely dirty styli, BTW) To clean the case around the pen holders, I recommend a light dish detergent or KlearScreen/BrainWash cleaners. -Oz of NewtonOz Items newtonoz@ix.netcom.com ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 09 Oct 1999 15:59:00 -0400 From: THX 1138 To: newtontalk@planetnewton.com Subject: FS: MP120 + stuff Message-ID: <3.0.6.32.19991009155900.0079d850@mailhost.thestate.infi.net> Reduced!!!

You need to use a USB-->Serial converter and connect normally with the dongle connection on the Newton. Any of the available converters will work. If you want a lot of options, you can use an iDock which has several serial, parallel and USB ports all on one device hub.

I don't think so, and I do own a 5300 powerbook, with which I'm reviewing the mail even now. The flaming part was the lithium battery, since replaced with NiHydride. There were two recalls for reworks (mine were already upgraded when I bought the machine new) and a service order for hinge tightening that, as far as I know, has no time limit. chris elhardt In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice; in practice, however, there is no similarity - Dave Butenhof. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 9 Oct 1999 22:32:36 -0500 From: Matt Garrison To: NewtonTalk Subject: MP130 + 3M Modem?
