Old tech beats techie

I received an email from the Charities Aid Foundation today. On a charity cheque I'd written recently I'd omitted the amount in words, rendering the cheque unpayable.

I felt: dumb for being beaten by old technology, impressed at CAF's use of email to rectify the problem and bemused by the thought that an organisation which evidently can take instruction by email wants me to write cheques in the first place.

This can't last. I think I only write one cheque a year now. Is it any wonder I get it wrong?
