>People still use checks, are you kidding me? Checks, magstripe transactions and signatures on their card receipts..

  That's a pretty big contrast from Europe... I've never seen a transaction using magstripe personally, I don't think magstripe was available even in the 90s, that sounds much older than VHS tapes.

    Haha. Magstripes were still common in the early 2000s I would say.

      Really? I've never seen anyone using one, I mean they were still on the card in the early 2000s as a legacy part of the card but no place I know would have accepted that at the time.

        My experience is related to Switzerland - possible that other European countries get rid of them earlier.
