I know you’ve done some recent stories on RFID and how things seem to be slowly moving that way. Have you heard much recently about the demise of checks? Just this week I’ve noticed that Petco and Domino’s (well the one near me – it may be a franchise) don’t accept checks anymore.

And I’m wondering what percentage of people with checking accounts actually carry or write checks anymore (I myself have gotten to the point where I pay all my bills online and use cash or plastic in stores).

I’m wondering if this is indicative of some sort of trend, when checks will one day go the way of the 8-track. -Anne
