10/7    Wells Fargo online banking really sucks. You can only go back 60
        days and if you want to see statements before that you have to pay.
        Fuck Wells Fargo. Even Bank of America and Wash Mutual are better.
        \_ I guess maybe those other banks are better in that one respect,
           but I can tell you that I'd never bank with BofA unless I
           traveled/moved to different states a lot. Talk about backward.
        \_ I solved this problem (and others) by building a little web thing
           that keeps trac of when you paid your bills and how much it was.
           That way you can do simple forecasting and have all your own records.

           Then I made a GreaseMonkey script that automatically posts all the
           data I put into WellsFargo into my app when I'm done giving it to
           Wells.  Works pretty well.  I'm ironing out a few details, but if
           you're interested, email me and I'll send you a URL when it's ready
           for public consumption.  (If there's interest, it shouldn't be hard
           to write GreaseMonkey scripts for other banks, too)  --dbushong
        \_ There's another way to solve this problem.  Print out your online
           statements once a month.  And then save them.  Try it.  That thing
           called paper really works.
        \_ I use Wells Fargo and I can look at statements back to 2000 online.
           You click on "prior statements", and when they say "fees may apply",
           I believe they only mean if you choose "US Mail" instead of "Online"
           for the delivery method.  PDFs aren't as cool as their basic online
           interface, but they're better than nothing.  (Granted, I might be
           getting charged and not realizing it; I'll check.)  -niloc
