The other problem I have, specifically with your statement, is that
after being in the fucking business for 30+ years (administrating and
programming mind you) I think I'm qualified enough to state with
authority that networks have indeed been reliable for quite some time
and that many, many companies, including Intuit themselves mind you,
indeed rely on them! Unfortunately they coded Quicken sloppily and do
not handle networked situations properly but I will bet this years
salary against the meager salary you make that it is indeed possible to
do. Note I didn't say that Intuit was currently doing it or that they
don't have problems with their Quicken product - rather I said it is
indeed possible to do. Hopefully you are not that dense that you can
understand the difference. Then again, what the fuck do you know - you
don't even know enough about your news reading software to quote properly!

Why is it called "after dark" when it really is "after light"?

I believe this is correct.

What's more, it's not just that Intuit "does not recommend ...
accessing Quicken data from a network share": I have evidence
that I trust, that Intuit has done studies that verify their
recommendation.

If a Quicken user accesses their Quicken files over a network,
and they have problems with their Quicken data ... they have no
one to blame but themselves.

Conversely, I can't think of any reason to argue with those who
use Quicken over a network and are satisfied with the results.

When you get a recommendation, you are free to ignore it ... and
if the recommendation turns out not to apply to you; be happy.
But if things don't turn out to your satisfaction ... don't
forget the recommendation.
