I'm in need of a Quicken like app that would run on a
USB thumb drive.

Such a thing exist? Or can an old version of Q be
made to do that?

I don't know the answer to your question but can only guess that if it
doesn't exist now, it can't be too far away.
Here's some tax-prep software on a USB, so Quicken or Money on a USB
shouldn't be hard to do.

I recently asked a Quicken rep about Quicken on a USB thumb drive and I
was told it wasn't going to happen right now. I was under the
impression that it's not in the works, either.

The only personal finance software I know of is Personal Finances
http://www.financessoftware.com/ . I had written a lukewarm review of
the software
(http://financialsoft.about.com/od/reviewsfinancesoftware/a/PersFinancesUSB.htm)
but the developer has made some improvements, so I was just going to
try Personal Finances out again to update the review...but the software
now only runs on U3 USB drives and I don't currently have one. S'pose
I'll buy one some day soon. http://www.u3.com/

Taxcut on the USB drive is a cool concept.

I had Quicken running on a USB thumb drive. It is necessary to install =
MojoPac on your thumb drive first. (www.mojopac.com). Worked just fine.
