*rofl*
That's what pisses me off about the National's online banking! It's a nice app,
but it's Java AND it's platform-specific!! ARGH!! (So, once again, I have to
fire up The Largest App (Win2k in VMWare) to do my simple banking).

Once, I got driven to the point of tricking Linux Netscape into installing the
National Applet - It all seemed to work OK, except it couldn't find any of the
images (which it installed locally I think), and since the PIN involves
clicking on images, was useless...
