Thanks for your views, Brooks. My long-term hold was very short-lived. Had to bail-out with the ugliness. I'll be back in soon, though.

Add one more to the list of would-be competitors whose corpse can now be found at the foot of one barrier to entry or another:

Chemical Bank: Actually had an operating system for a few years, distributed via Prodigy and privately branded to other banks. Sold out to CheckFree, which converted the entire base off of the Prodigy platform.
