I've been in this stock since $3 and picked up more since. I sure hope it gets bought out because even though they've tapped a rich vein I don't think it has an indefinite time to play out. There's no reason why billers can't eventually convert their systems to directly generate html or xml bills. I already get some really nice looking html email (but not bills). INTF is doing well with software to convert the output of legacy systems to an online format, but eventually they won't be needed any more. It's a lot like the buzz around the "screen-scraper" software a few years ago. It used the IBM screen output as the "legacy" data and wrapped PC client software around it. Now that these legacy systems are being re-written to explicitly take advantage of the PCs, the screen-scraper stocks are fading. You've gotta feel sorry for these app writers though! They're just getting the client/server systems done and now they find out that JAVA applets and server pages are where it's at.
