When I first moved here (nearly 11 years ago) had to produce 12 post
dated cheques for the condo fees - what a bloody pain. After fussing
at meetings, they finally made it so it can be an automatic bank
deposit - what a relief. However they still accept cheques and the
super tells me there are a few envelopes in the box with same every
January 1.

About the only thing I use cash for now are bridge games.
