On similar lines, though Windows based, I complained to HSBC bank that I was unable to access the on-line bank whilst using Netscape 6.2. I was told that it was not and would not be supported as it was inherently insecure i.e. could save login/passwords. I guess I should have pointed out to them that I could just as easily do that from any number of my linux browsers, if I were stupid enough to do so, but I didn't. I regret that now, although they would probably have just seen that as an excuse to block out linux browsers as well. You could just as well say that I can't have a PIN nu,mber, because I might write it down. How stupid can you get? Anne
