    Hello, I am trying to find a program like Microsoft Money, because I cannot find my Microsoft Money CD's it was for an older version. And I do not like the new version of Money so I will not buy it. Ps. right now I am broke so free would be best.

      Unfortunately, Money, crappy as it is, is the best that is out there. And unfortunately, you can no longer use the earlier versions (Money 97 etc.) as they dropped the backend suport for that about two years ago. I had a very frustrating couple of months when MS and my bank informed me that they would no longer support the opre-Internet versions of Money.. and that I had to "upgrade" to Money 2003, which would not run on the Win 95 box I was using for home stuff. SO I had to go out and but a new frigging computer (actually just moved them around in the pecking order here, and then had to buy a new one for my coding :') But then I was so pissed at MS for pulling this on me that I decided to buy Quicken. Whoa - big mistake. What a lousy UI. It's been two years and the details escape me, but I was extremely disappointed and threw it in the garbage.. then bought Money 2003. So now it's been a coupel years and I can stand it. Mostly by ignoring all the unecessary crap in the program

        Alright, I read that you don't like the new one, blah, blah, blah... Here's the thing. I own a computer service business. Yes I gave up the software engineering thing for a paying job. Actually my business specializes in Patient Accounting systems. HERE IS THE POINT: I bought a bunch of hardware from a local vendor who was going out of business. We were going through some of the boxes and found 10 new copies of Microsoft Money 2003 Standard. I only have 5 left. These little pieces of software are in DVD cases still wrapped in cellophane. These packages contain free copies of Microsoft Money 2003 that were supposed to go with HP Printers. Well we don't have the printers and I can't sell them. But, I can give them away. The easiest thing would be to ship them media mail within the US. Media Mail is $2.50 and an envelope is like $0.50. So if anybody wants one, I don't mind dropping them in an envelope. Though I would appreciate getting the $3.00 for shipping and the envelope. I do have a Paypal account. If anybody wants one just email me (see link at bottom of message) Oh, to be fair , first come first serve. And please don't vote a 1 out of spite if you don't get one. Randy

          Personally, I used Quicken all the way back when, but in the 2002 or 2003 version destroyed the user interface and made it a pain to use. For some time now, I have been thinking of moving to MS Money, but have not had the time to really look into it. Rocky <>< My Blog[^]

            Not to put to fine a point on it, but are you sure that you can give them away?    Generally, those kinds of bundles (OS with new system, Photoshop Lite with a camera), are under OEM licenses.  An OEM license generally says that the software must be distributed (bundled) with the accompanying hardware and cannot be distributed separately.  I do not believe that those kind of software items can be given away, just as they cannot be sold.    Might want to double-check to make sure you are not doing something too bad...    Previously, OEM-licensed software from Microsoft used to have a different format for its product key.  If the copies of MSMoney you have use an OEM key, I would tread with care when posting about how you are willing to distribute them.    Peace! -=- James

                I got MS Money 2000 with my Win XP Home when I first bought it. It isn't bad. I've never used Quicken, but I'm told it has a bit more features. "If only one person knows the truth, it is still the truth." - Mahatma Gandhi Web - Blog - RSS - Math

                    Yeah, but getting those feature requests that people (or one particular user) ask(s) for upgraded usually takes a long time. ;P On a serious note, I would swear by Ravi's freeware. If you ever want to start a business together Ravi, let me know. I too am broke, but would be your PR manager. 50-50 split on profit. :-D "If only one person knows the truth, it is still the truth." - Mahatma Gandhi Web - Blog - RSS - Math

                      Yes, according to the HP Sales Rep that I spoke with. Apparently they are full retail licenses that no not require a key. The only stipulation in that they are to be given away. They would like them to be given with HP printers, as a bonus. Though, since they are older and I don't sell a lot of HPs (I would if the local Best Buy wouldn't undercut so badly)I should give them away or throw them out. He even suggested that I have some sort of promotion where the first so many people get a copy. Though there were only 10, so it didn't seem worth it. I did give 2 out with HP Printers, 1 was stolen, 1 broken, and 1 the dog used as a play toy.

                        I gave up on Quicken after having a bad time with Intuit's customer support. Since then, I've been using Money 2000. :cool: Anna :rose: Riverblade Ltd - Software Consultancy Services Anna's Place | Tears and Laughter "Be yourself - not what others think you should be" - Marcia Graesch "Anna's just a sexy-looking lesbian tart" - A friend, trying to wind me up.

                          Quicken used to be a great product back in the day, but lately they have just thrown to many features and not thinking of how the product is used. The version I have 2003 still has a problem with the scroll wheel when scrolling a register up and down which should be a basic given for a list in just about any application. The current version I am using also makes it had to access your pending bills (reminders) on multiple accounts which used to be quite easy. Just some bonehead in management probably that that a redesign was in order... It surely has the features, and if you are coming to it without knowing past versions you might really like it. Be warned though, that you will always have to keep it updated if you use online backing because they drop support for it 2-3 years after a version. So, buying the product is a commit to buy upgrades forever even if you do not like the new versions :) Rocky <>< My Blog[^]
