>>>Kight's tone on the call today was anything but meek. Kight's tone is not expressed in public......just behind closed doors. In Public they are Meek.......that is what I was refering too! I'm not worried about MicroSofts Money........Maybe I should be, the market is.....otherwise we'd be at $35. Netscape Syndrome sticks this entire situation in the duldrums. Even though it is the most happening thing that has ever happened. Not everybody loses to MicroSoft......ie Intuit.....Bill wants it all..and in the end all he is going to need is a 6x3 area of ground 6 feet deep. Unless he's the fricken anti-christ like some have suggested, then we are all in trouble! In the end Checkfees' future is in the hands of the Banks & Billers....they won't move or speak without them, [being meek & humble]. If these guys take Micosofts approach.......we're f@cked. Notice........I didn't say doomed. Keep in mine Intuit comes out next summer with a new QuickBooks..I'd bet my My Michigan Ass they are going to bring e-Bill to the Masses.

Oh, and one final thought....I see what Checkfrees means about this media crap. We were starting to rally into close...then they repeated the earlier story over Dow Jones 3:20 P.M. Microsoft, First Data Venture Begins Bill-Paying Program DENVER (Dow Jones)--MSFDC, a joint venture between Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) and First Data Corp. (FDC), began a program to help companies implement its new electronic bill payment system. In a press release Wednesday, the venture said the program will help third-party companies link themselves to the bill-paying system, which connects banks, billers and consumers over the Internet. MSFDC said it is testing the system under a pilot program with three banks and a number of billers. The venture said about 20 companies have agreed to participate. "Dow Jones News Service" "Copyright(c) 1998, Dow Jones & Company, Inc." If you don't think that was the reason....look at the QDEK price today. Dow Jones put one out....and that sucker did 1/2 Million in volume and was up 25%. This release killed the rally.....IMO it ain't over till it's over. Why don't you Scoup them Brooks? Why should this be a secret? Intuit Commercial News Provided by; investorinsight.com
