Technology Stocks : CheckFree Holdings Corp. (CKFR), the next Dell, Intel? -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

As I'm sure we'd all agree, more and more people will be paying bills electronically as time goes on. However, I'm concerned whether CheckFree will be the means by which this occurs. Using myself as an example, I receive 8 bills on a monthly basis. Five of these bills are paid, by what I call, EFT (routing and transit numbers taken from a voided check). The remained 3 bills are paid using a CheckFree-like service provided by my credit union called Bill Payer. Two years ago, I paid all my bills using Bill Payer. I'd be willing to bet that within the next 2 years, I won't be using Bill Payer at all. Since I do own shares of CheckFree, I'm more than a little concerned by this trend. Comments? Tracy

I wonder why CheckFree hasn't started advertising on its EBPP website. It seems like an additional source of revenue.
