"I couldn't possibly fail to disagree with you less."
5 May 2003Right-sizing™ for todayI'm inclined to believe I'm not the only person on earth who maintains a direct correlation: one box of checks, one check register. And this isn't as easy as it used to be, either. While the number of bills hasn't decreased (ha!), I'm paying a lot of the recurring bills via my bank's online facility, which means that I might write maybe six, seven checks a month instead of 20 or 25, which in turn means that with all those online transactions, ATM withdrawals, Visa Check Card purchases and whatnot to log in, the old-style register, designed for a box of 200 checks, just isn't sufficient anymore. How is the world's largest check printer dealing with this? They've added a few pages to the register — and started packing 150 checks to the box. "Did the price go down?" What are you, nuts? They've never been able to get the number of hotdogs to match the number of buns. What makes you think they'll be able to solve the register/checks problem? Where did I suggest that I thought this problem was soluble? I'm just whining about paying the same amount for less product. Posted by: CGHill at 4:12 PM on 5 May 2003 |
