Except for one thing... if it's stolen or "hacked", your money disappears from your account. That can cause a cascade of other failed payments, fees, hassles, etc. With a true credit card, you get a statement about how much the thief racked up, and you call them and say, "No thanks, not mine, I won't be paying". I know must reputable banks will act to make things right if a debit card is used to clean out your account, but immediately? -- *********************************************************************** * John Oliver http://www.john-oliver.net/ * * * *********************************************************************** -- KPLUG-List@kernel-panic.org http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
