Can be worse. Some sites censor based on the OS you're coming from too, not only the browser. On the national linux list (NZLUG) a poster mentioned POLi (Pay Online) used by Air New Zealand - and probably other sites - that on their site at: http://www.polipayments.com/faq.html towards the end of the page they clearly state: "... your computer must meet the following minimum system requirements: Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 or above Compatible Browsers: Internet Explorer 6.0+, Firefox 2+,Chrome (Javascript must be enabled) Operating Systems: Microsoft Windows (XP SP2+, Vista, Windows 7, Server 2003, Server 2008)" No Linux. At least they let you use Firefox... Adrian _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.canterbury.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
