It looks like the process is different though. Plants Text Message Farmers When Thirsty Accent Engineering, Inc., of Lubbock, Tex., developed the SmartCropTM automated drought monitoring system based on a patent held by the Agricultural Research Service (ARS). They are offering it for sale in time for this growing season. Battery-operated infrared thermometers placed in irrigated fields monitor leaf temperatures and relay that information to a computerized base station. A cell phone modem can be hooked up to the base station to download data to a personal computer. This modem can also send text messages to a farmer's cell phone. ARS plant physiologist James Mahan at the ARS Plant Stress and Germplasm Development Research Unit in Lubbock is one of the original theorists of the idea behind SmartCropTM. Each plant species has a fairly narrow range of internal temperatures it prefers for best growth. When leaf temperature goes above the upper limit or threshold of that range for too long, the plant needs water, as much for cooling down as to quench its thirst. In the Texas High Plains area, for example, Mahan found that cotton begins to suffer from drought if cotton plant leaves stay above 82 degrees Fahrenheit for more than 6-1/2 hours. Farmers can choose the time-temperature threshold at which they would like to receive an alert, and adjust it at any time.

See link, Then Google "Quicken data from PC to Mac" Here is a link that might be useful: support/quicken

well that is the problem. The Icon is nowhere on my desktop.I only have the icons in my docking station and it is not there. So I have nothing to click and drag. I am hoping to do some more searching when I get home, but in the short time I had available before I left for work I couldn't find it. Thanks for the suggestion, however :)

Hello Snidely, Thank you for the reply. Having text msgs on MAC is easier if I need to cut/paste website links or edit msgs before sending/replying them. Yet you do bring up a valid point that keeping msgs on three devices wastes storage space on each of them. It may not be a best practice. Things are getting more strange. I noticed now text msgs synchronize between MAC and iPhone, but iPad is left out. I wonder if iCloud set up is messed up.... It seems I have to pay a visit to an Apple store.
