    That's an operating system's worth.

    NT 4.0 11-12 million lines, OpenSolaris 9.7, FreeBSD 8.8

    In saying that I worked at IF for a short time and it was like going in to a mental ward where they had a pet computer project to keep the loons from self harming.

    The stories I could tell yee about that place.

    Try it with IE before you go postal on them
    IE doesn't run on a Mac.

    Well it did 10 years ago but you'd need an old Mac to run it

    • Becauise my bank supports it and it works
    • The one time I tried online banking with Firefox I couldn't get in
    • I have a Mac
    • I ain't going anywhere near online banking from a Windows machine when I have other systems at my disposal

    Not through choice, I try to reconcile my accounts at the end of every week, but this debacle has put me off it for weeks.

    I was determined not to let it beat me as usual.

    I need a drink.
