BB, These are the reasons I have bet the farm or in my case 70% of my life savings on CKFR. Regards, Rob

QuickRemit and QuickBill. From Pete's presentation I believe these were the development names for the 2 new web tools. The newspaper guy is instructed to go to the website where he is led through the registration process to set himself up for electronic payments of his bills. Pete said they can not afford to help set him up today so they do not offer him this. He can only get paper checks. They are currently working on the software tools to allow him to set himself up as an e-payee. Similarly, they are working on the tools to allow him to set himself up as an e-biller. Pete did not say when this would be ready, but it would obviously be huge. This would be the key to getting to the magic 70 percent electronic goal and probably even higher. It would make the cost of setting up a biller or payee dramatically lower. It sure sounds good. I really enjoyed the future oriented discussion about what they call inside Checkfree "webmoney." It is reassuring that they are working hard on the next generation of their current services and also visioning the future of e-commmerce and electronic money.

Yea, Benny! That's exactly the right track. Your story reminds me of a delivery person who "explained" to a T.A. therapist how important T.A. was in his life and understanding. But this guy had never been to a therapist... He was making a delivery. Therapists think that T.A. happens when they treat patients. But in fact it happens when patients use T.A. That's how it will be with e-payments. Banks won't necessarily make them work, but when people who right now are getting checks that come thru banks catch on that they can sign up for automatic delivery, and that's a plus for them, the process will keep moving. By the way, I had supper with people who could sign up for small business payments tonight and they said it was still too scary for them (my words). Nevertheless I hope Pete gets your comment/suggestion and implements it. It's a good one. - Tom Speaking of scary, congratulations to everyone who contributed to the cool heads phase yesterday and today. I tuned in tonight and trembled. If this was church, we'd have lost the congregation. I'm in awe of the process. Thanks to each of you who helped keep us in order.
