Sometimes I don't get you guys. "I have all my data for 20 years! My
Quicken Database is 50 Megs. I have thousands of accounts and
transactions, non of which I'll ever refer to in my life. I like keeping
everything because organizing shit's too difficult and time consuming
for me. Why the hell is Quicken so damn slow!". Geeze. Clean up for
crying out loud! Geeze!
