thanks for that.

funnily enough, i left ANZ over 15 years ago because an update to their
online banking website turned it into a java-encrusted monstrosity that
only worked in IE on windows (and even crashed netscape on linux). their
attitude was that I should run windows. my attitude was that i'd switch
to a bank that didn't require me to use an insecure operating system for
my banking.

i've heard that ANZ's ebanking site works fine now in Linux, but I've
had no compelling reason to leave Bendigo until now.
