I would like to sign up for PC Pursuit, but of course, I don't have a
credit card, and thus have no way of paying for it.  I heard some rumour
somewhere that they were going to be implementing the "Checkfree" thing
(like Compuserve uses), which would be nice.

Why can't they accept a check on a flat fee, anyway?

[They want to avoid the costs of sending you a bill, late payment reminders,
 etc.  Of course, this doesn't explain why they won't do "Checkfree" yet.
 Presumably cash-flow is better with Visa/MC vs. ACH Debiting of your 
 checking account.  -Elmo]
