Are you sure E*trade is paying for both Mac and Windows? My credit
union pays Intuit for Window users downloads but not for Mac users. I
was told they didn't have enough Mac users downloading for them to
pay for it. How they figure that calculation I expect involves a
posterior part of the body.

I have a brokerage account at E*Trade and download my transactions into
Quicken on my Mac, so they're paying for at least that much. It seems
unlikely (although possible I suppose) that they would pay for Mac
download for brokerage accounts but not credit cards.
