  33. I don't have too many problems with foreign personal cheques I get
  34. for GRAPHTIME-II. The bank charges $4 for the effort to convert them
  35. though.
  36. With $8 only registration, maybe ask registrants to just send cash.
  37. (Using an $8 note of course :~) ). I am more than happy to receive
  38. US $ notes or UK pounds, Dm, even NZ $.
