While signing up with my credit card for paperless statements. (Figured don’t really need to get the mail every month and I pay online anyway.) I was met with this nice set of instructions:
You must have a valid Internet e-mail address, Internet access and access to a printer. You must also have one of the following hardware/browser combinations:
Microsoft® Windows®
Netscape Navigator® 4.07 or higher
Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher
AOL 5.0 or higher
Mozilla Firefox 1.0 and aboveMacintosh®
Netscape Navigator 4.06 or higher
Internet Explorer 4.51 or higher
AOL 5.0 or higher
Mozilla Firefox 1.0 and aboveYour browser must have cookies enabled.
Welcome to 2009.
Current browser versions:
Netscape Navigator 9.0.0.6 (Official support ended on March 1st, 2008.)
Internet Explorer 8 (Mac version has been discontinued since 2003.)*
AOL 9.1
Mozilla Firefox 3.5.1
I’m sorry, but if I was dealing with people’s credit card or banking information, I would want them to have a recent browser. You know, a browser that isn’t so full of security flaws that it like keeping a burglar out by opening a second door.
*Oddly enough, I just talked to tech person who has been ‘in the business for 13 years’ who had no idea that IE wasn’t available for the Macintosh platform.
