Thanks for the impetus to actually start using it since I've had it for about a year already. :) Ok so I’ve been using Electric Orange now as my primary account for about a month and it’s actually not as bad as I thought.

I could maybe deal with it that way, I guess I just worry about it too much. Maybe I'll be brave one day. :) That’s a good point about transferring money to a local checking account.

Many of the ATM locations in our neck of the woods are in CVS locations. Plus, I can always get cash back at the grocery store. I solved the paper check and ATM deposit issue by keeping a free checking account with a local bank...on the rare occasion that I need an emergency check (i.e. not for rent or the dogwalker) I can write the check and transfer the money. ING's Bank-to-Bank transfers are quick enough that the check won't clear before the deposit hits. And if I need to deposit something, I'll just go to my local bank then transfer the funds to ING. It's a great solution for me. Interesting. Many of the ATM locations in our neck of the woods are in CVS locations. Plus, I can always get cash back at the grocery store.

I've actually had it since I was one of the beta testers for the account. I have two big issues with using it: 1. It doesn't allow you to deposit money via an ATM (not to mention most of their ATM locations seem to be a little sketchy around here). 2. No paper checks. While I rarely ever need them, not having them at all is not something I'm willing to do. Hence, why I don't use the Electric Orange account. Maybe someday if they make it a little more flexible, but right now, it just doesn't fully meet my needs. I love ING Direct and I have an Electric Orange account.

I had issues with it locking up my router when I threw high volumes of traffic at it though, and others have reported problems using it with VoIP services, specifically CallVantage. What router do you have that doesn't support Tomato? DD-WRT is good too.

I've heard Tomato's a little more polished, but it doesn't run on my router. Ever tried DD-WRT? If so, what's you opinion compared to Tomato?

The Library Randomization bit was the most interesting to me, although probably not as useful (from a user's point of view) as, for instance, the Time Machine..
