RW> Mom and dad still had a tube type Zenith when they moved from their big   
   RW> house into a assisted living apartment. He didn't last longer than a day   
   RW> or two there and passed. I think mom bought a 19" table top model then.   
      
   Not much you can do with a tube TV these days unless you want to turn it into   
   an aquarium.     
      
   Everything here in MD is all digital.  Even the over-the-air signals.  I guess   
   you could get an adapter to have it go back to analog, but it would probably   
   be cheaper to just buy a new TV.   
      
   I remember the "warmup" on those TVs would take almost a minute.

   RW> and   
   RW> I close d it from another bank with a wire transfer, leaving them holding   
   RW> a $30 dollar outstanding check.   
      
   I know how frustrating that can be, but I just tell myself it isn't worth   
   going to jail for an idiot.     
      
   RW> I specifically recall negotiating the due date to be the 15th with World   
   RW> Savings & Loan, the mortgage company that Wacovia bought out. I guess   
   RW> that   
   RW> got cast aside when WF bought up Wacovia this year.   
      
   They probably changed Wacovia's rules when they acquired them.  You normally   
   have up until the 15th of the month to pay.  They are more anal about it these   
   days from all the foreclosures.   
      
   Mine just gets taken out automatically.  I'm on the bi-weekly payment option   
   which accelerates the pay-off.
