Seeing all these recent messages about missing electronic payments has
butressed my originally strong feeling that the LAST thing I want is  
a computer
program automatically paying bills from my checking account.    The  
amount of
time required to pay bills using Moneydance, or Quicken, or anything  
else, is so
small, and all of the programs now out will print checks quickly, so  
the possible
advantage becomes so tiny that I can't imagine putting up with the  
potential
disasters.  I believe that entrusting the ability to debit my  
checking account
to some program is utterly unreasonable.  Maybe I'm a Luddite, but there
it is!
