I dislike the "auto save" feature << it SHOULD wait to pop up only after 
the entry of a transaction is complete, not in the middle* >>

But that means taking upon oneself responsibility of doing  hard saves 
frequently enough that that the amount of work lost not too painful. 
Best to not enter hours of work between explicit hard saves of the data.

(*) Instead of "if time expired" between anything, every time entry of a 
transaction completed, check if time expired. That way will not be in 
the middle of entry of a transaction.
