Dick, at least one of the links to Yodlee on that page is broken:
http://corporate.yodlee.com/company/...10_28_roi.html Seems like
maybe it was moved to
http://corporate.yodlee.com/company/...ation_can.html

Thanks so much for the link! That explains everything that I wanted to
know. This is definitely a real eye opener. Thanks again.

We call it bloated software in the IT/DP business. The true cost of
software is maintenance and not development.

I can theorize many reasons for having a centralized rather than
distributed processing (as it was hyped ages ago) paradigm for talking
to financial institutions, such as:

1. Single point for programming changes between the FI and the
application. Distributed is a PITA when you do now own the
distribution network or distributed nodes.
2. Security. Easier to control if you know only known fixed
connections and authorized interfaces.

I will save a ton of money upgrading software from this point forward. Each
version of Money is worse than the one preceding it. I would just be happy
if the program would download the updates from my institutions on a
consistent basis. I do not understand how all my financial institutions
have a problem at the same time. I might be able to get updates to my
checking account if I try the update button five or six times. Another
problem with Microsoft's program is how MoneyCentral has to download the
information first then pass it along to me. Is this really necessary? Why
can't money just connect directly with my bank? Another problem is how
duplicate transactions get crested over and over again. How many times does
one have accept something before it disappears? Like I said before, I will
save a lot of money because I am never buying a newer version again. I
could care less if Microsoft takes away my online account access in a year
and a half because it doesn't work to begin with.
