Oh, I agree...100%. However, if I were only to install WELL written software, my
HD would be almost
empty.

Actually, I do clean TEMP frequently, but performed tests because of
this thread. The files don't contain any credit card info, they
all seem to be related to B of A. Account #, transactions and
balance are all shown. Not to much worse than paying by check,
I suppose. One file looked like binary cruft, but actually was
a Zipped copy of the financial institution list.
