You can test that out by disabling your network connection. When you
hover over the things that rely on online access, the pointer will
transform into one with a globe.

I suggest backing up to at least one USB flash drive regularly, and
do not store it with the laptop. Perhaps make a copy of your latest
backup onto CDR at least monthly. Be careful that the laptop does
not walk away.

I am considering buying a laptop and getting my internet at home turned
off, would I be able to carry the laptop to work to download updates
and then carry the laptop home to do any other work in money? I dont
see why that would not work. I am using money2006. What about doing my
online banking using money, would I be able to enter my online
transactions while offline and then when I am back online send those
transactions to my bank? Are there any other tools within money that
will not be accessible if I do not have access to the internet?

Thanks
