Shel, the suggestion you and JoMac make is good. But at least for now I'll stick with the checks and occasional inconvenience rather than go to another back with freer use of debit cards. The deciding factor for me is that I strongly prefer a small local bank (owned by someone I know), rather than one of the mega-banks that is so busy dreaming up new ways to confuse the customer that they can't be bothered to actually deal with the customer. The disadvantage for the small bank is that they can't afford to provide the same services that the large ones do without some service charges, as they have to pay the larger ones to do processing work for them. My gripe is that the charge seems designed to provide an additional profit center. The owner may be a friend, but I don't agree with his business conduct in this case. stan - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
