Kurt -- Thanks for the rundown on the competing forces. I notice in the Mankowski interview that Integrion will partner/co-operate with Microsoft if they can find a compatible platform. Perhaps this is just rhetoric to counter-balance any thought that they're rivals. A novice question: does CKFR have contracts with each of Integrion's partner-owners individually or with the group as a whole? Could CheckFree succeed apart from Integrion? Could MSFDC conceivably outsource to them the same as Integrion? It appears that Integrion and IBM's Global Network have an impressive lead, but I would never underestimate ol' BG. Alexander the Great had nothing on him. Heck, Attila the Hun had . . . :) Thanks in advance for filling in the blanks. Regards, Pat
