I don't know about Quicken on PC-Task, but I can tell you that I use TurboTax with it. Although that means nothing to you, I just wanted to share with you that larger programs such as TurboTax and perhaps Quicken run EXTREMELY SLOW off the hard drive under PC-Task. I think PC-Task is an excellent program and works well, but remember that you must use a file set up as the C: drive. Everytime a program accesses the HD it must scan the entire file. Therefore, the bigger the file, the longer it takes. Just an example of how slow it is, when I installed TurboTax, it said on the screen that it should take about 10 mins. Well, it ended up taking between 30 and 40 mins on my A4000/040. I suggest to you Pha$ar. I've used it for 2 years and it works great. If you really must use Quicken, you'll probably want to get an Emulator. I personally am waiting for the Emplant 486 emulator. -=Andrew=-
