Well one problem I might have is idiots who do not know how to quote

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!
