Wouldn't running Quicken on any portable device be very risky? Laptops, netbooks, etc. are very commonly stolen. -- XS11E, Killing all posts from Google Groups The Usenet Improvement Project: http://twovoyagers.com/improve-usenet.org/

One way to at least decrease the risk, if not completely eliminate it, would be to keep all the data on something like a thumb drive (which you keep separate from the laptop). -- Ken Blake Please Reply to the Newsgroup

I do realize that it is impossible to defend against a determined operator but why would someone like that find your files interesting compared to a company or government data file?
