[sclug] [OT] Banking site *Requires* use of Internet Exploiter

[Ian Park]

I felt I had to get this one off my chest...

This morning, I decided to give the Egg Money Manager a try (they're 
offering a ?10 incentive to anyone who signs up to it...) - I already 
have an Egg credit card and an Egg savings account. So far, I've had no 
problem using Firefox to access the Egg web site, so you can imagine my 
gobsmackedness (and annoyance) when I read:

"Download Internet Explorer


To install Egg Money Manager on this PC, you need a PC with Internet 
Explorer 5.0 or above. This is because the software we give you to run 
Egg Money Manager is 'browser based'. It should only take a few minutes 
to download Internet Explorer, just select 'download' below."

I have sent a very snotty secure message to Egg...
