See the thread "Intuit Abandoning Quicken" in this newsgroup for
speculation along that line.

Hi, Jan.

See this link from the post by Gordon Potter on January 15 that started the
thread, Intuit Abandoning Quicken:
http://www.businessweek.com/technology/content/jan2010/tc2010018_451437.htm

In that interview, Aaron Patzer indicated that the desktop version of
Quicken might be discontinued after another 5 years. There was no
definitive statement to that effect, but it seems to fit with what we can
see of Quicken's plans, including their acquisition of Mint.

My mistake. I did not see the line about discontinuing the desktop
version five years out. Must have had my beer goggles on or something.
Thanks for pointing me to it.

And that's a totally unwarranted presumption, I'm afraid.

I agree completely, but secure comes in many degrees ... There is
stupidity, accident, and theft.
