I did my taxes with www.turbotax.com -- it has partnered with several sites which allow you to file for 50% off ($15 total). When I tried to run it in Mozilla, it whined that it didn't support my browser; I brought it up in Netscape, and it looked -horrible-. BUT, it got me past the check-for-non-compliant-browser; after that, I just cut-and-pasted the URL into Mozilla, and finished off the return quite happily. I imagine that Opera, with its "pick which browser you want me to present myself as" feature would've bypassed this problem quite handily. $.02 (plus tax, shipping, and handling), -Ken ***************************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the text 'unsubscribe gnhlug' in the message body. *****************************************************************
