Tlindt, I called my bank today and asked them when they were getting web based banking. The woman replied "we already have web based banking." I said "no you do not you have dial up banking." She said "why would you want web based banking it is not secure" I almost fainted at this moment. I couldn't believe that a manager of a bank whose web based site is already under development would make that comment. I asked her whether that was the official opinion of the bank and she got a bit flustered. Basically I am in the process os switching my account to Net B@nk but I figured I would give my bank one chance to redeem themselves because switching banks is such a dam hassle. Sorry for being so long-winded but I couldn't believe that bank managers were spreading that opinion. Second comment a little off topic... I have been exploring e-commmerce sites for Gap, Eddie Bauer and LLbean. These sites are all pretty amazing and allow customers to purchase anything from the store onlin(although I am sure you were aware) In any case I am wondering if there is any company i.e. cybercash that receives a payment for each credit card transaction processed for these sites. Additionally, (and I think Benny can clarify this is he is still reading) isn't CKFR joint venture with VISA supposed to allow customers to purchase online with immediate withdrawal of cash? Well I guess I am a bit lengthy at 4:20a.m. but there is not much else going on and I need to work this morning. Thanks,
