Oops, looks like the link in my previous message isn't direct, you have to select Brokerage Account and then at the bottom of that page click on the link for more information about UltraService. I can't seem to link it directly. Sorry for the confusion. GWD

ok, I'm back...(not being terribly productive today...) Thanks for the link. To me, the most telling, positive thing about consumer acceptance of this pending revolution is the following hyperlink from the left side of the page you posted: "Put Money/Assets into your Account" Just look at all the easy, convenient, low-stress, and, importantly, LOW (or NO)- FEE ways there are to get your money over to you checking/investment account instead of your fee-intensive bank. Geez, you can even direct-deposit just a PORTION of your paycheck (if you don't want all your eggs in one basket, I suppose). Also, you can do regular, scheduled deposits into an IRA (reminds me of the old "Christmas/Chanukah Club" accounts from savings banks of old)... Also, I have to admit that Schwab needs to spiff up their website a bit. Fido's seems much "deeper" in terms of content. Guess it's only a matter of time 'till we see similar offerings from e-trade, DLJ Direct, Morgan/Dean Witter, etc. BTW -- what was that about the Chairman of Merrill saying awhile back that investing on the web was not for the general populous???????
