I filled in a form and asked them for a real email address so I can send 
them attachments.

My questions will be:

  * why doesn't NAB support *any* auditable web browsers?

  * why does NAB support only one operating system (OS X) for which
    there are no extant compatible viruses or worms, and no secure
    operating systems on ordinary PC hardware?

  * since Netscape 6.2 and 7.0 are largely Open Source (sharing
    something like 99% of their code with Mozilla) and Mozilla
    manifestly works (see attached) under Linux, why does the IB
    website still tell me to go and get a different browser every
    month?
