Doc, Why are you so eager for a buyout? Don't you think CKFR has a good chance to go at it alone? Did you read the article in the WSJ yesterday about AOL and how they faced a similar situation when Microsoft tried to buy them in 1993. Steve Case's stake was worth around $30mil then(if my memory serves) and now it is worth over $400 mil. CKFR seems to have all the pieces in place to kick ass. Why should we sell out at these prices??? If I am missing something please fill me in. AE

>>>.....but then who would have predicted chrysler/benz, citi/traveler, att/tci, bank of america/nations, seek/disney, etc? Not me. Actually I was just thinking a good partner for CheckFree would be AT&T. Pete keeps saying that CF needs to have Dial Tone quality. AT&T is fairly neutral, compared to a bank buyout, and may be one of the few companies that may satisfy all investors. I guess we will just have to wait and see........... Benny(IMHO)
