'-- That said, let me add a note of caution that I have not seen elsewhere. It applies generally to businesses, but can be focused on financial services, precisely because they are ahead of everything else.

I have had at least three problems crop up within an 8-week period (December 98/January 99) that smack of buggy software. ' ... Now, problems such as these show up once or maybe twice a year; to have three of them within a matter of weeks makes me a bit suspicious.
