The Scobelizer Asks, “Where’s the Microsoft Money blog?”

The following articles were quite important to me yesterday of this writing (10/24/2005):

I got “into” Microsoft Money as an improvement to balancing my collegian checking account with Microsoft Excel. How can a college student that needs to balance his account down to the penny (so I can know that $20 and ten cents are in the account before I go to the ATM) afford to buy Quicken? So, now, for ‘historical reasons,’ I am accustomed to Microsoft Money. I upgraded from 2004 to 2006 thinking that this would stop it from crashing on my desktop machine with the ATI video card. This is did not help. In fact, it got worse.

Microsoft Money is the only application I have that can crash Windows XP down to the black screen—forget the blue screen! So when the Scobelizer asked way back when he was at radio.weblogs.com, “Hey, where’s the Microsoft Money blog?” I can only see the black screen.

I’m sure there will be an obedient, disciplined personality out there that will develop a nice, bland Microsoft Money Blog with that cartoon sassiness or that silver-hair-knit-sweater-by-the-fireplace “financial-ness,” destined to render profitable ads by Google™. In the mean time, I can only see the black screen… Now, Money 2006 runs from my Dell laptop just fine—so where’s the ATI graphics cards Blog?

Well, a Microsoft Money blog didn't exist until a few hours ago, but I have been active on an FAQ site for a while (http://money.mvps.org). Perhaps the blog will develop, I don't know.

So, Scoble might well ask where it is, well it's hopefully going to be something I can keep up to date
