John, Way back in the '70's I used to work on a online savings system. At that time all banks were closed on weekends. It was great as we had test time a plenty. We ran into a time crunch was every quarter we had to calculate interest before 8 AM. We had zero allowance for problems. From close of business till 8 AM it was intense.
