<< What in the world is TransPoint and how does this explain anything? What a dopey name. >> I'll bet you anything the "point" (yep, pun intended) was to get "MS" out of the name. Seriously, MS software crashes constantly and is unreliable. No way will people associate that with something that moves their money. Then again, TransPoint has no brand recognition. Back to square one. hehe. Mike

>>>What in the world is TransPoint and how does this explain anything? Actually I think it stands for...transition point? Where they transition from having nothing to trying to put something together...ANYTHING! MSFDC's origional timetable on e-Bill, and anybody can correct me if I am wrong, was 1st Q 1998....that was when they first put the MSFDC deal together last summer. Other names which might have better described the venture...DO OR DIE, BALLSHOT, or my favorite BRAINDEAD....
