Shiny new credit cards

Got home from vacation to find that my credit card had been canceled a week ago due to some security problem at a vendor my card company won't identify. So they sent me new cards and I'm taking a few minutes this morning to update a few places where I have regular charges going onto that card.

Between things like this data compromise and the regular horror stories I read over at the Consumerist blog, is it really any wonder why I still pay most of my bills by check? Imagine if I had all my utilities and everything else that could be automated put on this card! I'd have had to spend all morning, rather than about 10 minutes, switching all the vendors to the new card. Yuck.
