I have written to both my banks (politely) about this issue and have in both instances received a canned reply saying they only support windows and ie/netscape because of the advanced security features particular to those browsers on that platform. I guess they consider IE5 with 40 or 56bit encryption more secure than Moz/Konq/Galeon etc with 128bit? Because it's Microsoft, it must be better (just like our highly secure IIS web servers) Maybe you can ask them to please stop top-posting their email replies at the same time?

In which case, the only way to get them to see the light is if enough customers threaten to stop paying fees to them, but to another bank that doesn't dictate what software they must use.

It already does snow in oz... in winter ;-) In which case, the only way to get them to see the light is if enough customers threaten to stop paying fees to them, but to another bank that doesn't dictate what software they must use. That would be nice, only there *are* no alternatives. Pretty much all the banks I have dealt with (both in Oz and in Europe) only support IE on the win platform. Other browsers do work. Sometimes.

We have indeed had snow in Albany before, and in December even. Who knows? It may be possible. Cheers; Leon

The question is: is your community's attitude towards snow removal the Atlanta attitude: If God put it there, God can take it away. ? I was once in Washington, DC for a meeting when a snowstorm came up. Half the people were terrified of driving in one inch of snow. I would bet people $20 I could get their car out of the lot.
