Years ago - I had a CE based hand held.  I bought Microsoft Companion
to Windows CE which had a great Hearts game and Taipai.  The Hearts
games I have purchased are awful and so are the versions of Taipai. 
Is there a newer version of the Microsoft Companion to Windows CE that
has the basic games or - any Microsoft edition of standard games for
the Pocket PC (Ipac 1910 - 2002)?

I would also like the best Financial Calculator (present value) and
the New American Standard Bible.

Can you answer the question about the Microsoft product and point me
to sites for the other things?

schmooz...

The latest gamepack with Hearts and Taipei is the
Microsoft Entertainment PocketPak, released 09/27/02,
by Handango software.

It is compatible with Pocket PC 2002 with 600kb RAM,
and is available for download, for $29.95, on this page:

====================================================

It's difficult to judge what the 'best' financial
calculator is, since this is such a personal choice,
however, of the ones I looked at, the one with the 
highest ranking in Google searches, and the best
looking interface, is the Lygea Calculators product
'Pocket 12C Financial Calculator (ARM) 1.50'. It's
available for a free trial or to buy for $12.99:

There's also a freeware calculator, which includes
financial functions, available at Calculators.org
 - Calc98, version 5.3:

Another financial calculator, this one with a tape function,
is the 'tApCalc Financial calculator with tape (Arm)',
by Softtrends Software Pvt Ltd. It's free to try and
$9.95 to buy:

And, finally, with a plain interface, but a promise of being
user-friendly, is the EZ Financial Calculator from TimeMagic.
It's free to try or $10 to buy:

All you researchers are THE BEST!  Great answer, as I usually get.

I highly recommend the Laridian PocketBible. This is modular software
for which many different translations are available (including the
NASB). I've used the NIV version in Pocket PC format, and the features
are most impressive.

More info on PocketBible is available here:

Be sure to check out the free demo, which comes with the KJV New
Testament, plus Psalms and Proverbs.
