The lightbulbs are beginning to turn on... I think I'm getting it.... So, anything to stop Yahoo/AOL/infoseek/whatever from offering Quicken/Money style services --- acct download, credit card download, registry, graphs, whatever... (By analogy, Yahoo's stock portfolio's seem to get more and more useful, with new features coming online all the time --- and without the need for clientside ''upgrades'' and ''patches''. It's what Larry Ellison was yelling about awhile ago.) Makes bank services look more and more irrelevant.... Anyone know the relationship between Intuit and the banks with respect to acct info download? Will the banks fight like hell to limit portal access to acct info? If they try, will there be a new class of very low cost money ''warehouses'' (money-mkt funds or fdic insured accts) that offer no services direct, but have standardized transaction interfaces which can be glued to portals?... Just thinking aloud... Please set me right... -Jamey
