Well, I wish I had read this earlier....I get so many emails from 
groups, and was also working on a new web pages for one of my sites most 
of the day, so now it's too late to call the bank. Oh! I just tried to 
log into my U S Bank account online, and got back a page with the 
following at the top of more text...

"Internet Banking is currently experiencing technical difficulties. Our 
technical staff is aware of the problem and is working aggressively to 
restore service. We apologize for any inconvenience you may experience 
during this period."

So they are aware of the problem evidently and are working on it. I just 
wonder how I'm going to get my bills payed this month? LOL! The cable 
company and the phone company don't send me a paper bill anymore, so I 
don't even know where to send a check. 8-( Oh, yeah, I can call them and 
use my Visa, that will work. Guess I didn't get out of paying the bills 
after all.

Thanks everyone for weighing in on this matter, as I wouldn't have 
thought to call them about it right off.

Later, Ray Parrish
