> I almost changed the thread title, but decided to "stick with > the crowd". (snip story about checks / cheques) I still think this cheques system is weird: you write on a piece of paper, which you give to someone else, who takes it to her bank, which reads it, and forwards the request to your bank, to transfer money to her bank, at which point your bank might find that you don't have that amount of money in your account. If you want money from your account to her account, just say to your bank how much and to which account (if you want you can do that on paper, but we live in the www age...). If you don't have that amount of money they can tell you immediately. But this is probably my continental predudice...
