Why is the United States ACH (automated clearing house) system so slow and inefficient? Funds can never be assured until several days pass, and that creates a ripe atmosphere for check bouncing. When I do a Paypal transfer to my bank or move money from bank to bank it always takes 2-3 days. Why is the banking system stuck in the 1950s? Is there any talk of overhauling the ACH system?

Anyone know where I can get Star Wars personal checks? All my Google-Fu can turn up is http://www.anthonygrandio.com/agindex.html, and while those are nice, they're not what I'm looking for. And they're even more than the insanely expensive checks my bank offers.
