You're related that story before ... and I had the same problem with "Chargex"
who I had never heard of until you brought it up. Turns out that Visa was known
as Bank Americard in USA before it morphed into Visa. Chargex was the Canadian
name.   Bv)=

Still, I am glad the little guy won. Always glad to see that.
