The older versions still work, they just won't do any downloads from financial institutions. You have to manually enter every transaction.

I've used Quicken for ages, easily 15 years or more. They've frequently pissed me off over the years and caused me to research replacements, but there really is no comparable program, and nothing that will import your previous Quicken data. I would always put off upgrades until the bank downloads would be suspended, and was furious when they went to a subscription model, but ultimately surrendered and went with the subscription. There just isn't another program that will ably handle downloads from multiple bank, brokerage, and credit card accounts, and Quicken is unsurpassed in its ability to generate a report to answer any question you can throw at it. My conclusion, reluctantly, is that there is nothing better.

If your primary concern is tracking current prices on a basket of stocks, I believe this would be available free from most brokerages, such as Fidelity, Schwab, etc.

Love OpTech straps. Use them on my camera and my bag.

Yes, but can they be charged from a portable power bank? He won't have access to an AC outlet.

Connections? I've seen camera battery chargers that receive power from an AC/wall outlet or a car cigarette lighter, but never from a USB connection. Alternatively, I've had many power banks that will deliver a charge to a device through a USB connection, but never one that would deliver a charge through an AC type connection like my battery charger needs. Do these exist?

The product has been unavailable for download since January 10, 2017, as the Windows Essentials line of products have been discontinued. Previously downloaded copies continue to work, but downloading today is limited to non-Microsoft, non-official sources, and entails the risk of embedded malware.

I always put the card into my computer, and download 180 shots in about ten seconds.

Another vote for Tim. I bought an unlimited subscription to his entire course library, which is constantly growing. Seems like it was around $100 for a year.

Keeping safe isn't the only issue. New programs won't be built for Windows 7 in the future, and the future is coming fast. I understand that next year's TurboTax won't run on Windows 7, and this alone will force me to migrate to Windows 10.

When you say you took pictures "with your underwater camera," are you referring to the D850 in an underwater housing, or do you have another camera that is your "underwater camera?"

This isn't particularly helpful. The OP would like to know HOW to reduce noise with his current software (Elements 14). If your only insight is that there is better software available, then how about listing some suggested software you feel would do the job better than Elements 14. I have the same interest in learning how to reduce noise.

Check the manual for your audio system. Some systems are very picky about the file structure that you can use. I had one that insisted that I could only have two levels, i.e., Album/song. When I tried to use Artist/album/song it couldn't find the music.

I've had pretty good luck turning vinyl and cassettes into mp3 files, but I'd suggest first to see if your album is available from the library on CD. It's much easier to rip a CD and there's no editing to do afterward to separate the tracks and add song titles and other data to your mp3 files.

Definitely not. That bag will provide zero protection against the buffeting and abuse that luggage receives in transit. Put it inside a suitcase. The baggage checking fee will be the same whether it's a small tripod case or a big suitcase.
