Okay, I have to ask . . .
Did all their pens break, too? :) Sounds like the first consultant they
should hire should be the one that tells them 'always keep a few of
those antique checks you sign by hand around in case the power goes out'
*grin*
Maybe that's the next contract clause you need to insert: "If checks
are issued by computer and your computer system goes down, 5% per day
interest on the outstanding balance will accrue. We also accept wire
transfers, cashier's checks and cash."
