My financial life is a little bit complicated with a side company I have to track separate expenses for, so I decide I need some simple financial management software. Of course my first choice is Microsoft Money because it is the only package that seems to sync with PocketPC.
Anyway, so I get a copy of Money 2003 Deluxe & Business to try out. I set up my first account, and then set up the backup policy and do a backup of what little work I have already done. Then I download a bank statement with the nifty built in web browser that already has the URL of my bank built in and that understands electronic bank statements. Way cool!
But, oops, I only downloaded the last month's statement and I want to reconcile the last 6 months of info. Ok, I'll just go back to the last backup and start over. So I do, and download the 6 month statement instead. Woohoo!

On a serious note, anybody who has dealt with accounting knows that you run away very fast from an accounting software package that EVER makes such a grievous error let alone in the first 5 minutes of use. :(
Oh, and on the PocketPC side, what's up with the default, "Hey, let's show your account balance on your today screen," thing?
Maybe now that I've seen Money, I'll go over to the local Intuit shop and give the guys there a kick in the pants--we NEED Quicken for PocketPC!
So what are other people using for bank account and expense tracking on PocketPC?
