Free ATM? Unfortunately, the institutions that set up the ATMs that are convenient have more say about "free" than Waterhouse. I agree that banks suck: they are using their ATM networks to bind customers close enough to be in range of creeping fees. Regrettably, the alternatives are less clear.

It is a pity the government can't confine its monopoly enforcement idiocy to markets the gov almost understands like banking rather than muck with software and technology. Of course then any ATM fee the gov would outlaw would be replaced by a gov fee. And likely a larger one as well that would need to be totaled, indexed, and included on our tax returns. What if nobody voted in the next election? Would some clown still win or would we shrink gov?

How long does it take to Beta-test checking anyway? It is not like checking is new cutting edge technology. It has been around a tad longer than the internet I hear.

Please take all the above as having some relation to humor.
