Proof positive I don't need to update Quicken.

I go to type the amount of a purchase, miss the decimal point, and 36.12 becomes 3,612. And there you go.

Dude, I don't need a checkbook manager that even imagines a number that big. Ten percent of that would do fine. Thing is, when you operate as close to the line as I do you need to know exactly what's in your account, today, no mistakes. And Quicken is the only thing that syncs with my bank. Hey, I could do just fine with a spreadsheet if it weren't for that. (And don't say pencil, please. That would be way uncool.)

So it's the unupdated Quicken for me. I figure I've got at least a few more years before it turns off entirely and by then I might have won the lottery. Or bought at ticket, at least.
