but not all people will go all or nothing. They might set it to "dump
all JEs into 'trash' account", and they perform splits on some subset
of their JEs. They might want to run reports on checking account
balances, mortgage balances, things like that, but not on equity.
I know that I have been putting off on entering my 2000 data until I
figure out the whole credit/debit thing with paychecks, equity, taxes,
ssi, medicare, stuff like that.
Then there is the whole thing with my vesting stock options, lockout
periods, cisco stock splits, argh!
