Dave, you may be right about not wanting to make enemies with M.S. But another thought that has been running thought my head is that they[Integrion] are perhaps doing the right thing. Maybe as a back up, in the event of Genesis not coming out on time or having bugs that need worked out. Or maybe to keep CKFR on their toes.

Whatever the reasons may be, we see who is calling the shots, and if the banks don't want to give their support fully to CKFR, that is their choice, and then so will it be CKFR's choice to do what they need to do to survive.

What's to keep MS from storing some of its hordes of cash (billions) in key banks and then letting the pressure do the work for them???

Just an idea that hit me....

dave:

<<I get the sense that there is a little resistance on the part of banks to hook up with Checkfree.>>

Could it be that some Integrion members want to see more balance on the presentment side than exists on the (CKFR dominated) payment side? This is one potential explanation. Another is that MSFDC has so much money they can buy as much share as they want, even from Integrion members.
