Whoa! There's a blast from the past. Whatever happened to Dollars and
$ense? I guess the same thing that happened to VisiCalc and Lotus 123.

I used MYM for DOS until just a couple of years ago. MYM had a version
for Windows, but apparently it never worked out.

I used MYM for Windows after migrating from MYM for DOS. The Window
version was great. You could have sub-windows open for each account.

When I first used MYM, I had a PC Jr with one diskette drive and 128K of
RAM. I had to load the program, then change to the data diskette once
the program was running. Backup was simple. I had another diskette.

My first software was Parson Technology's MoneyCounts. Went to Money,
hated it and then tried Quicken 5. Ah, the days when AMEX updates would
not work several days at a time. I switched to Discover, because the
downloads almost always worked as did my banking with First Interstate.
