Another article sparked by CheckFree's first profit:

wired.com:80/news/news/business/story/12008.html

highlights:

"On Tuesday, CheckFree reported its first profitable quarter since going public in November 1995, earning $57,000 on record revenues of $170.4 million in its third quarter, compared to a $4.8 million loss on revenues of $121.4 million in the same quarter last year. And, in a sense, the company did it with one hand tied behind its back."

"Gary Card, an electronic commerce analyst with BankAmerica Robertson Stephens, projects that by 2000, some 5 billion bills per year will be available on presentment servers"

...Well I'm glad to see that someone finally spelled his name correctly.

""The data is stored under lock and key," said Jessica Ostrow, MSFDC's vice president of marketing."

...The only problem is that she gave a copy of the keys to Bill Gates.
