	That doesn't suprise me, however I didn't realize that (never needed
to attempt that).  Personally, I'd be more likely to take a loan from Texins
rather than a cash advance from a credit card (which you can do through an
ATM also).  The APR is better.

	Well...  If you didn't, it wouldn't be much of a saving account, would
it?  :-)  Other banks charge you $.50 /{yr/mon} for an ATM card, I personally
don't consider this too much of a drawback.
