Warning - WIN98/98SE
Attention all WIN98/98SE users :-
Have just received a message from my bank, saying that we should download Internet Explorer 6 (SP1) before 30 June. Apparently, MSoft won't
continue to provide tech support for old IE versions, where it's used in conjunction with other, "private" (e.g. the banks) web
browsers.
Work-in-Progress: Changed to Zetec + T9. Still trying!!

Thanks Dick,
I think this is why I haven't been able to access my overdraft for the last few days.
Are you with Nat West?
Cheers
Chris
Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

Dick,
I've read this recently too. It is also worth knowing that banking on the internet seems to have taken an upward step in encryption lately. Most
banks I know of want you to upgrade IE to get 128bit encryption (check under help -> about IE).
I know you can upgrade current version eg 5, 5.5 to higher level of encyrption, but if you're gonna do it, you might as wel do it properly as
they say!!
enjoy.....
Ned.
beware, I've got yellow skin

If your going to upgrade go to IE6 and then download all the latest patches from microsoft.
The security issues with 5 and 5.5 make them a non starter

From what I have heard Microsoft are going to stop supporting 98/98SE before the year is out and ME soon after.Get the feeling they want everyone to
have XP?
Glad I didn't build a Tiger
