If I were to follow Marko's statement, I also live in a 3rd world country, which is Romania. Over here these services are available to absolutely everybody, no matter whether they have a credit or debit card. I've been using them for quite some time to transfer money in and out, without a single problem, be the transfers local or international. It's true that sometimes the managing fees were not exactly friendly (depends on each bank), but it was overall a lot less expensive than Western Union. I'm not familiar with the North American banking practices at all, but it might not hurt to push them a little ;) > Colin Percival > -- If it's there, and you can see it, it's real.

If it's not there, and you can't see it, you erased it. _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
