Re: Website compatibility
I find that with USBank, even when I log off properly in Safari (even the latest one), I often get stuck in a loop where I just get the your session has timed out screen unless I manually search for and delete all USBank cookies. (It sure would be nice to have a search feature within the cookies list!). Some other banks or credit card sites give me a window telling me my browser is not compatible, but if I click Continue it works just fine. Regards, Harry Corsover Follow up on that: AmEx's site works fine with Safari and so does Bank of America. For that matter the state of Florida's website works fine too. We have a thing called SunPass that allows you to pass through toll plazas without having to stop and it debits via a little box. Go to the website to put more money on it and I usually use Safarinot one problem. As a matter of fact I do EVERY form of financial transaction exclusively using the web.

Re: Website compatibility
My bank, Regions (formerly Union Planters here in Florida) TOTALLY supports Safari, Firefox and OmniWeb as well as Internet Explorer. The same down here. All the local banks here are fully Mac compatible, including mine, which only has offices here, and in one other place in the world, that just happens to be the next town over. The funny thing is that there are less than two dozen Mac users in town, that I know of. Out of all my friends and people I know from school, there are only three others I know of who use Macs.

Website Compatibility (Stonyfield)
So I end up on Stonyfield's website (the yogurt people) and got to click to get their coupons and get the following error: We have noticed that you are using a Macintosh Computer. Unfortunately, our system is not cowmpatible with the Macintosh platform. Now, it seems to me that if you one is on the web and using HTML, Java, ... etc. this stuff is platform independant, so a developer would have to go out of their way to make it incompatible with a type of computer.

Frankly, with all the problems that we have heard over the last few years about how unsecure Exploiter and Windows for that matter are, I can't understand why you keep encouraging this platform and can't demonstrate more imagination to be able to deliver your web content without relying on extensions that were lame attempts by Microsoft to try dominating the web.
