Question Do you really need the desktop versions of Money and Streets?

I have a question: I have noticed that the Axim comes bundled with Pocket streets and Pocket Money, but I have read that in order to use them you have to own the Desktop versions of each software. I do not own either software.

Is it possible to start a new account and to set up a basic checkbook in money without the desktop version? I would like to use it to keep track of my bills.

Is it possible to import maps into pocket Streets without the desktop version? It would be nice t be able to have portable maps.

Delivery date for my Axim is Feb 24th.

Thanks for any info!

Todd

Nope, you don't need the desktop version to use the PM and PS, but:

1) While you can still track your expenses with PM, you won't be able to synch nor 'backup' your DB individually (meaning you either do a complete backupu of your Ax, or no backup at all). This is the only reason why I installed the desktop version of MS-Money.

2) Just download the map files from MS' site ;) The desktop version just allows you to slice whatever map you want from it.

Cheers.
