    The older technology screens often couldn't reproduce well... and no

    got used to just accepting it... I'm still surprised when I get a
    screen that actually reproduces what I thought I wrote... :)

    I'm a counter at church. Each Monday morning I count the collection and
    make the deposit. (I asked when I was first "volunteered" if they trusted
    me with the money I was told they did, "since its mostly cheques anyway").

    I don't remember any of details five seconds after I'm done (who gave
    what, etc). I make it something to immediately forget.
    But there are times something will stick in my mind. This one person
    instead of signing their name on the cheque will make wiggly loops. :)
    I guess this what they did when they opened their account and its always accepted.
    I was also made a co-signer on on church cheques (payroll, bills, etc)
    and after about the fifth cheque in the pile my sig is really odd looking. :)

    Joe,

    I'm a counter at church. Each Monday morning I count the collection and
    make the deposit. (I asked when I was first "volunteered" if they trusted JM>me with the money I was told they did, "since its mostly cheques anyway"). JM>:)

    I'll vouch for your integrity. :)

    I don't remember any of details five seconds after I'm done (who gave
    what, etc). I make it something to immediately forget.

    Forget what?? <G>

    But there are times something will stick in my mind. This one person
    instead of signing their name on the cheque will make wiggly loops. :)

    Or like on the signature line -- 3 X's -- one Aggie signing for 3. :P

    I was also made a co-signer on on church cheques (payroll, bills, etc)
    and after about the fifth cheque in the pile my sig is really odd looking.

    There was a commercial in south Florida years ago, for "Southeast
    Banks". The one thing I remember is toward the end of the commercial,
    when they noted "The more successul a person becomes, the harder it is
    to read their signature".

    Some days, I look I'm drunk as a coot with my signature. Most men's penmanship (including mine) is atrocious...but most women's is
    "immaculate" by comparison.

    Daryl
