    TOS doesn't offer checks.... LAME!

    After you deposit the check, how long does it take to clear? It's the same difference. You can transfer cash from your TOS account directly to your checking account in their "Account Services Center". I use it all the time.

    Contractors who suck

    This is the same concept as trumpets in a orchestra. I remember reading somewhere that the optimal number of trumpets in an orchestra was 9. Any less than 9, and the strength of the trumpets goes down. Any more than 9, then the extra trumpets was wasted. So, I agree with you. There's an...
