I posted this a couple days ago, but my system was set to 1992 instead
of 1993, so it doesn't appear that it ever really got posted....

Does anyone have a list or references about banks (or other similar
institutions) that will issue a *secured* VISA or MasterCard?  I checked
with my local bank (where I've been doing business with no problems
for almost 7 years), and although they do offer that, they have a
ceiling of $1500 credit limit, regardless of how much you are willing
to deposit to secure the account.  (ie, it would seem logical to me
that if I was willing/able to deposit $4000 into the secured account,
then my credit limit would be $4000, but apparently this logic escapes
my local bank).  I'm preparing to do some consulting work (hopefully),
and after airfare, hotel, etc for an extended number of weeks, that
$1500 can be eaten up real quick.
