However, I've found that Bank of America has an account that works pretty well for me. No minimum balance, free ATM, etc. No monthly fee *if* I direct deposit something within that statement period. However they'll hit me up for money if I visit a live person. There are probably all sorts of evils with direct deposit, but as long as I'm working, this becomes essentially an account with no monthly fee. - alex To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
