I've a loan with WellsFargo that won't let you in unless you are using IE or Netscape 7 on MacOSX and IE6 or 7 on Windows, and they state that they don't support "beta" browsers - well how about supporting the browser engine that Netscape 7 is based on? Or how about supporting the default browser that comes with OSX? The worst part is that they have a *very* simple site but these insane restrictions. Hear hear!

Last year, it wouldn't even let me use IE 6, for the simple reason that I was running the 64bit edition of Windows XP. The platform detection didn't recognize the OS as supported, so it balked.
