Chase still down. Of all the billers in all the world, this one (ConEd) had to be on TP -- the only one of billers anywhere, on-line is on-line at TP. I e-mailed ConEd and told them I ain't paying any bills except on CF. If I'm not here after a bit its b/c my pedal generator can't power up my pc.

Bob--

Without asking you to play your hand, I was wondering if you have any general thoughts you could share about how any of the larger equity and warrant holders feel about a complete buyout of CF, say, at a level of $90 to $125? Any general feelings about the strategic fit of, say, Yahoo or AOL vs. Checkfree staying independent for the mid-term???

Although none of us should really be in a position to complain (profit-wise), if the thing were taken out, I'd be alot happier to see someone like Yahoo bite off 10%-20%, which would have a positive, psychological effect of further validating the Checkfree model, while allowing it to continue to operate as the bill paying "Switzerland" in the eyes of the banks, until bill presentment is firmly established in the midset of consumers...

Also, I'd hate to own an overheated internet stock like Yahoo, and wind up disposing of the investment and paying those nasty capital gains taxes!

Just some early-morning thoughts, before heading into work (a little late this morning)

RK

System Outage update:

CheckFree Holdings says its online banking and electronic bill-payment services are now running at 98 percent capacity, and later today it expects to be completely free of the intermittent outages that have beset the services all week.

ROFL

Bob, you really want to be ROTFLYBO? Get Tom(or is that Pete) to tell the story to CNBC!

Set aside the 30% increase in stock price. Imagine the response from the public when they not only learn about EBPP, but find out they CAN DO IT NOW.

Now that'll be worth something to subscriber growth. My bet the resounding story might just put us in the lime light for DOING SOMETHING RIGHT!

"Excuse me Mr. Kite, what were your revenues last quarter?

What are your projected revenues for the next four years?

WHose your competition, and how much of an immediate thread are they? If Mr. Softie is embarrassingly late with their Pilots, is there ANYONE out there that can just smooth io and take your 80% of the market?

Are you banker friendly as well as biller friendly?"

Blah, Blah, Blah.

So what do you think?
