I [don't] hate E-Bay (was Cromemco 68000 on ebay)

I didn't think anything of it. I thought it was better than a personal check. My small town bank treated it like toxic waste. I got a lecture from the teller about how it was probably bad and that if it was bad, I would be liable for all the penalties. The implication was that I was a counterfeiter and that they would prosecute to the fullest extent of the law. This from a woman that knew me and that lived a block away when I was growing up. It all went fine, but I am apprehensive about taking money orders. If my bank won't take it, I won't take it. -chuck
