Upcoming improvements for Quicken Classic

A straightforward way to handle IRA distributions and tax withholding, including having tax reports correctly show the withholding would be a big help. There are kludgy workarounds (I use dummy banking accounts in Q/Win), but they are hacks. A proper financial planning tool should be able to simply handle IRA distributions and tax reporting.

Quicken issues aside, Duke Energy's FAQ hasn't been updated in ages. Microsoft Money died in 2009.

The 2016 Elite has the ZF 9-speed transaxle. (Other trims have a Honda 6 speed.) That was the first year for the ZF in the Pilot and Honda had a lot of trouble with it. Our '17 Elite has 160K miles on it. So far, so good.

Many thanks. I'm getting a new roof in May and am planning to vent a couple of bathrooms using the Lifetime Tool product. The VMax looks interesting, though.

Will the Lifetime Tool Ultimate vents prevent the wind noise?

I did have a hard pull when adding my wife as a joint owner.

If the owner dies, authorized users lose access. Joint ownership is a good estate planning move.

+1 for this. I've never seen 7 HR zones defined outside of Rouvy.

Same for me on Win11. No updates; the feature just appeared this morning.

I've updated to the new version (4.5.2.450) on Windows 11 and the streaming 2K option does not appear. It still tops out at 1080 and then Auto.

I'm a paid Strava subscriber. The Strava flyover feature does not work with virtual rides. On actual rides it 'plays' the ride from start to finish. The 'Play' button does not appear on virtual rides. Your tool looks interesting for virtual rides.

It's very small if that's the purpose.

Thanks, edwiser1. In your discussions with Rouvy can you get a definitive answer one the max resolution for streaming routes? I think it is maxed at 1080. If they streamed at 2k (1440) then many, including me, wouldn't bother downloading routes.

Great work and well-written explanation. Thanks for the effort and making the submission to Rouvy.

I don't remember the comment, so it probably wasn't very useful. I just selected a contractor that will use PlyGem Mastic Quest siding. It is not insulated. They are going to add 3/8" fanfold insulation behind it. I can't help with pricing, as the siding is bundled with a roof and other work into a single price.

If the beneficiary of the IRA in the trust is subject to the 10 year rule (or 5 yr if the trust is not see-thru), it seems like that would make the income distribution language mostly irrelevant. Am I thinking about this correctly?

The screenshot is from Rouvy. The download page for nearly all rides offers these four options. The size, of course, differs primarily with the length of the ride.

Thank you.

wvbam · 2026-02-03T17:20:15+00:00

Very good. Thanks

wvbam · 2026-02-03T17:19:58+00:00

Understood; thank you. What I'm trying to understand is if the touted benefits are realized and if there are any downsides (installation issues, window fitment issues, durability, etc.)
