Thanks for the update MJ. I noticed the other day that
the best MM rate on bankrate.com was some bank in Irvine, Cal. 3.25% with check writing and a low
minimum deposit. I was tempted but am still
studying (yep, I tend to overdo) my options. Right now
I am getting 2.53% in my regular bank's checking
account. That extra .5% would be attractive, even though
in the real world it won't buy me much. I can get
a 3% MM locally but lots of conditions attached.
