Index Number: 12506 Several people have indicated that they don't trust readers such as the Arkenstone to read their bills. I can certainly see where characters could be misread, but how likely is it that figures would be read incorrectly but still as only figures? In other words, can numbers stay numbers when misread? A letter showing up in my balance would be a dead giveaway: "Minimum Amount Due: $B1.90" instead of "Minimum Amount Due: $131.90." I suppose a missed decimal point might be a bit awkward, but I would think it would still usually be apparent where the point belongs. Comments? Experiences? -- Doug Lee (dlee@athenanet.com or uunet!pallas!dlee)
