I've listen to Pete Kight and company at each conference call over the last three years and the pride of their success of what they have done just radiates...And that's what scares me to death..Don't think you can do it alone at this point..Trying to make $.32 in 2000, change your business plan, and now Yahoo shows making $.05 in 1999 and $.05 in 2000. Generates mass confusion..

Do it like this: biz.yahoo.com Thursday July 8, 7:46 pm Eastern Time Softbank to take 20% stake in Morningstar Inc TOKYO, July 9 (Reuters) - Softbank Corp said on Friday it would invest $91 million in Morningstar Inc, taking a 20 percent stake in the U.S investment information service firm. It will take the stake through its wholly owned subsidiary Softbank Finance Corp. The exact timing of the acquisition has not been set, a Softbank spokesman said. The investment is aimed at strengthening Morningstar's Internet-based services, Softbank said in a statement. Last year, Softbank and Morningstar set up a Japanese joint venture, Morningstar Japan KK, and launched an investment information magazine.

>>>TL, IMO EDFY/SONE may be in a position to offer a leg up on a turnkey system. Dave No Dave they are not...no they are not. For OFX delivered e-bills yes, but not for the e-payments going back via paper check. All bills are not going electric tomorrow, next year or 5 years from now...the grunt work in this business will still be paying after receiving an electronic instruction from a consumer to pay a bill, and then pay via paper for the processing center involved..and that ain't turnkey. I say the consumer don't care who...the consumer cares how. IE you just can't provide a one legged service that only transmits payments back on electronic billings...you have to be prepared to do it all to truely provide a valuable and time saving service to the consumer. If you can't then why would I use a service where I paid 3 bills electronically and 8 bills by check? That's my point, CheckFree can do them all electroniclly in the consumers eye, and either way as we know and understand it. OFX isn't about that and that's my point.
