The Registry accepts personal checks for anything *but* sales tax.  For
that you must pay cash.  I have no real idea what the rationale behind
this is (yeah, I know they'd get a lot of bad checks:  but they get a
lot of bad checks for other things too, no doubt); I've found the policy
inconvenient on more than one occasion.
