Just to slightly defend paper checks, some of us in accounting intensive industries like to have that paper check for the trail. Sure, an electronic trail exists, but at least for myself (as a lawyer), the written word is still god over the electronic word, as the laws and ethics accounting rules haven't exactly caught up to technology completely.

How the hell do you make less than $166k as a lawyer?
