Many of the older folks do not trust computers not do they understand EFT.
Checks offer control albeit an illusion. They also believe it takes a few
days for a check to clear.

It's like really believing that the post office eventually won't
deliver your mail if it isn't addressed mechanically using no
punctuation and all capital letters. As if....someone will always
hand-address a piece of mail. There's no way around it.
