When is Crestar going to EBP up and running? I saw a blip of Crestar Credit card on the mybills website a few months ago. Benny

Gregg, Brooks, etc. Thanks again for the feedback -- I just checked out Crestar's site -- looks pretty good, IMO. They seem to be one of the few banks that "gets it," in terms of capitalizing on consumers' frustration with traditional banks. They even offer to automatically transfer the balances from your current bank and close the account -- pretty cool stuff... Brooks -- completely agree with you regarding American Express and Quicken. AMEX "bombs out" my one-button update about 50% of the time. Then, a bug in Quicken won't allow you to download any other accounts until the Amex problem is cleared. If you remember, I posted the "control + shift + click" workaround awhile back. All-in-all, the recent posts serve to remind me just how "bleeding edge" most of us are on this thread. Reminds me of the early days of ATM's, when I was in college up in Buffalo. Just about everyone had an experience where their ATM card's would be "eaten" and not returned by the Marine Midland bank machines because of an incorrect keypunch or PIN code. Also were a rash of robberies of ATM's in Buffalo, until the manufacturers realized that it was a pretty dumb-ass move to have a door that opened to dispense cash -- a pretty convenient place to insert a stick of dynamite and blow out the innards... We're kind of stuck in those early days right now (although the ramp up time for everything these days is alot more compressed). I remain bullish as ever on the technology, but there's still ALOT of kinks to be worked out that joe consumer is gonna have zero patience with... rk
