Well, it varies from bank to bank. On my street, there are four banks (within a block and a half of my apartment!) - two "big" banks (F-U and Summit) and two smaller area banks. The big banks do everything in their power to attract a clientele composed of individuals with lots of money and companies with lots of money and/or geographic scope. The smaller banks do everything in their power to attract a clientele composed of businesses and individuals with strong interests in their own area, money or no. Needless to say, my wife and I have all our accounts (5? 6? 7?) at one of the small ones! -Dan -- Dan Birchall /\/\ Junk e-mail ads ruin Internet as a business tool. djb@scream.org \ / I'll read yours, though, for just US $50.00 each.
