Thanks Jeffrey - I appreciate that very much and watched the video.  It 
is strange (as mentioned at the VERY end of the video) that you can 
click to view the web-based info onto your desktop version, but as you 
say, it doesn't seem to allow you to UPLOAD that to get started without 
re-entering all the account info.

I guess it makes life easier that you might not have to do a OSU to get 
the latest info, but other than that, this doesn't particularly excite 
me, especially given the set up that needs to be done.  The app and the 
data presentation and tools seem very simplistic based on what we've 
been able to do on the desktop app.

I don't know much about MINT, but i get the impression it is Quicken's 
version of that web-based financial program.
