I don't follow, how would synchronising your PIM data with money work out?

I don't play the lottery either, but I know people who would find it useful.
Who I've asked about what they wanted in Money before I wrote to Microsoft
Development.

As for bloat... well it is a fairly hefty app I must admit, but I like it
:-)

Currency rates, they are already in it if you look, you have to go into the
options menu to get at them though. As this data is already being sync'd,
making it available on the home page just adds better use for it. I very
well know that they change every day, hence when you sync with the internet
they are updated for you with your stock data.

I *could* watch the tv for the lottery draw, I *could* go get a news paper,
I *could* goto the national lottery web site, but if money can pull the
numbers down when it does the internet update and flash a popup if I've won
something the user would have one touch access to more tools. I mean on that
logic I could go and check my shares outside of money too, but I don't want
to ;-)
Its an XML world, everything's ASCII, It just needs to know what to do with
it.

As for the HPC support, why do you think I'm asking for a new client. If
there was a working one, I wouldn't need to ask :-)
The old 2000 / 2001 client was only made available for US and Canadian
versions of Money and this was of no use to me here in the UK. If people
don't ask for these things, they don't get written, so it can't hurt to ask.
(again... and again... and again lol)

I view the lottery as a tax on stupidity. I don't play the
lottery so I don't want it in Money. Money already has
enough bloat.

I would not put this into Money. Currency rates fluctuate
on a daily basis, if you check
http://money.cnn.com/markets/currencies/ you''ll find rates
change every business day.

But then you colud do the same oustide of money. They
publish them in the newspaper, many TV Radio and newspapers
publish them on their webistes.

Guess what? Money stopped supprting the Handehdl platform
like the HP680 years ago. Now they only suppoprt the PPC.

Default What I'd like to see in Money 2005

I thought that I would just voice a couple of things that I think would make
money a even better product. I know its a bit late for Money 2004 now, but
something to consider for the 2005 release.

Currency rates:
At the moment if you want to see the currency rates you have to go into
options to list them. Being able to display a customisable list of them as
an entry on the home page, or on the portfolio page would be useful. This
information is already being synced anyway - likewise -

Tourist Rates:
Having approximate tourist rates, or tourist rates being offered by a
certain provider (Thomas Cook for example here in the UK) and being able to
display them on the home page / portfolio. With links to buy current at the
rate from the provider and perhaps even Travellers cheques.

Premium Bonds: (UK)
Proper premium bonds entry in the National Savings section of the Add
Investment wizard.
Further, the ability to enter the Bond numbers / Holders number into Money
and to have it check the bond numbers against the ERNIE information that is
available on the National Savings web site. (www.nationalsavings.co.uk)

Lottery Numbers:
Simple this one. Enter your lottery numbers in a form (for users who play
the same numbers) or in a box for random number players and have it check
them for you against on-line service results.

Endowment Insurance bonus tracking

On the Portfolio screen, have a little "Closed" entry appear once the index
/ Investments market has closed for the day / week.

A updated Windows CE based Handheld PC client (in currencies other than
US/CAN $ this time please)

In the UK edition, if you add the travel icon to the toolbar, the first time
you click it, it defaults to Expedia USA, this should default to
Expedia.co.uk

Thats all I can think of for now. I've submitted these to the 'Wish' Group.
Anyone got any other thoughts?
