i have written more checks in the 1.5 years i lived in the USA than in the 7 years at my last home in Canada... (1 book in Canada in 7 years (since i had to order checks when i moved), compared to 5 books in USA).. but i hate writing checks... and complain almost every time i do (it irritates me no end when someone writes a check in the express lane for 2.00!! argh... use debit!) and while my writing is also bad - the thought of buying consumables for quicken (or any other financial software) stopped me from using it for writing checks (plus ensuring i am hooking up to a printer etc etc)... i helped my boss print checks with quickbooks - that was a never ending nightmare of lining up, printing, re-lining up, reprinting etc...
sorry Jayson -- with much respect to cinnamon bun time with your wife.. :), but i whole-heartedly support MW Not supporting check printing... (would rather move forward than backward -- and check writing is heading backward..., bill payment online etc is forward.) jmho ml On Apr 13, 10:52 am, Kevin Hoctor <ke...@nothirst.com> wrote: > On Apr 13, 2009, at 9:37 AM, Jaysen wrote: > > > The problem is that I "know the stuff under the hood" and do not trust > > the IT side of the modern methods.
