I love the fact that I can cruise up to my podunk Iowa bank and withdraw money from my bank in Australia, and the transaction takes seconds, costs me nothing, and includes a helpful receipt in US dollars.

I have less love for the reality that this is brought to me on the network operated by the same banks that claim it takes 3 days to post an electronic payment to my credit card. Give me a break.
