Hey Brian it is interesting to read what you wrote about merging banks 
and everything. I would like to add that when I worked at PAI over the 
summer, one of our customers was none other than The World Bank. Yes, 
there is such an institution. To read up on what they are about, take 
alook at:

That too has been something that is a major part of the re-organization 
of the banking system. Do you know about the Most ATM company? Their logo 
is "We're the future of money!". How right they are!

I think all of this electronic commerce stuff is fascinating. Many people 
are worried about it because thier personal lives are now in data bases 
and our lives are being tracked everywhere I go. To an extent, I say good 
for the banks! If they want to track my every move while I am on this 
earth, the more power to them. Why worry about it?! They can't track me 
when I get to Heaven! After all, my treasures are laid up somewhere 
beyond the blue! ;)
