Bummer - I use this service quite often. Paypal is one of the great things that’s come out of the internet. I received this email from them today:
We are writing to let you know that PayPal’s BillPay service will be discontinued in early August, 2005. If you currently use BillPay, you will need [...]

My buddy Benjamin

My buddy Benjamin was in the office today. While he hurts the billable hours bottom line, he’s a total doll and boosts office morale.
