[plug] National Bank against open source

[Senectus -]

My other half just got a job with the "Police and Nurses Credit Society"  
and while she was browsing their web she found that they list support for 
Linux in their internet banking..

(remember you don't have to be a copper or nurse to join that bank..)

who cannot, and you have a metaphor of the Information Age in which we
