It is probably a good sign so far that CKFR has not entered a countersuit against INTU. It probably means the negotiations for settling the matter are calm. There must be some or even many bases for CKFR to get them into court over failure to deliver Quicken.com customers, or selling a rotten bunch of assets to CKFR in the first place for which they received a lot, 20% of CKFR's shares, or many other technical improprieties on INTU's part. While we are on this topic, Integrion certainly has failed to deliver value to CKFR and should be in line to cancel the options they have on CKFR's stock. Although getting litigious is certainly not in our interest generally and leads to bad publicity, the time may be coming when CKFR has to stand up for what is fair.

T: Cause if they hold up CheckFree now, while yet to nail down e-bill one on Quicken.com, that could cost us all Billions in future revenues... The Germans had lost the most valuable territory they had taken in the Soviet Union. In an effort at least to deny the Russians the fruits of those economically rich areas, Hitler had instituted a scorched-earth policy, but in the end even that satisfaction was denied him. Nearly all of the factories, power plants, mines, and railroads could be destroyed, but the Germans lacked the personnel to transport or destroy more than a fraction of the agricultural and economic goods.
