I don't think checkfree has the enter once market sewn up. I have checkfree access through Charles Schwab. I enter payments in quicken and then have to go to schwab's billpay site (read Checkfree) to enter the payments there. If I want to enter them in checkfree and pay bills that way, I'd have to have an account directly with checkfree for approx. 10.00 per month. The checkfree service offered to schwab customers does not allow us to transmit payments from Quicken to checkfree. I wish it would. Harry

Bruce, >>>The only thing holding down the price of CKFR is how long it will take the analysts to realize that CKFR owns the connections that make online bill pay really convenient and user friendly. IMO Today's action was bordering on the criminal, why didn't this call come out last week? Options expire today. Look at the Put/Call ratio and come back and tell me why? The analyst were there in spades at the Checkfree conference, they all know the deal. The real problem in adoption is that the advertising blitz hasn't started yet. Regards, Rob

>>> Whenever consumers realize that they can post their bill payments once -- through Quicken or Money -- and not have to make an entry somewhere else, they'll want their banks and portals to give them a service that will interface with their personal finance software. I'm a little late getting to reading the thread, sorry. More exciting things to do than watch CKFR these days -- like fertilize my lawn. Anyways, IMHO, there aren;t that many people who care about the above statement to make CKFR a money makers. Unfortunately, the market at this point is maxed. The early adopters are on board, but there's going to have to be a much stronger proposition for Mom and Dad Middle America to give a crap about this market. KD
