Computer Vision Lab Lines: 14 I don't particularly believe in credit cards, and will resist applying for one for as long as possible, although the pressure is there. Radio Shack will not take my checks without a MAJOR credit card, but I never shop there anyway. So far the only time not having a card hurt is when I want to rent a car for a trip. Avis and Hertz, and as far as I know others too require major cards. Does anyone know a way to get around this problem? Please send me mail. UUCP: ...!seismo!rlgvax!cvl!gyuri ARPA: gyuri@cvl -George
