Just ask Ian Tester about Midland bank's internet system. It has a bank

specified userid of letters and numbers attached to a bank specified

password.


I've never understood how firms can screw up when all you have to do is to

find a  competitor (in your industry) with a system that works and copy it

(hint, people can follow Amazon's purchase path so why do I have to learn a

new one everytime a buy something from another site).


On other stuff (not really worth a mail by itself). From Anonova's article

about Breathe (passed without comment and not mentioning bepaid.com). (Its

the last but one paragraph).

At the time, such a move would have valued the company at around �100

million. In August, subscriber levels passed the half a million mark, with

revenues of around �450 a month. (yes you are reading it correctly).
