Just to add my data point: I have searched my STAGE.DAT file several
times hoping (:-) to find private data to no avail.  The only items
I've found in the file are cache'd Prodigy screen dumps and error
messages. Perhaps significantly, I use a Macintosh version of the
software.

Really folks, this sounds much more like typical DOS filesystem bugs
than a conspiracy directed by Sears and IBM to gather confidential
info from hundreds of thousands of users.

But it's a great urban rumor.
