\ Dear friend,
i used to have Money 98, but I lent it out to help a blind friend and never
got it back again. I think we should contact technical Support at Microsoft
and speak with supervisors (425 635 7000). i think we should state that
Money 98 is no longer aavaailablle and that Money 99 should be adapted so we
can use it. People can also write mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]. And I am
trying to develop sources of getting Money 98 since I need to get it back.
Also want to know if you find a copy of Money 98 anywhere!
Happy Fourth of July!
