The only way to process them is to go to a bank. No thanks.              I utilized drive-thru banking a few times, but that was decades        ago, and in a major city. It wasn't totally bad, but sometimes        the height didn't seem right for my passenger vehicle.              --        ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.48        * Origin: Mobile?
