At this point i don't have any use for windows anymore! I found an CVS build of wine on http://wine.sourceforge.net/apt/ and it came with a tool called winetools - this tool automatically installs internet explorer on your "fake windows". And behold DanskeBank's (http://danskebank.dk) netbanking worked right out of the box. This is contrary to Nørresundby Bank's netbanking (http://nrsbank.dk) that works natively on firefox (Java based, DanskeBank's is COM based shrugs). I have attached a screenshot showing Internet Explorer 6 on Debian GNU/Linux viewing the netbanking page. (and yes it works - only my personal finances have been removed - those are not how it actually looks ;-)
And this has been a good day in so many other ways, i received my replacement Palm Zire today - and it works perfectly - this one is with Graffiti 1 - just like the broken one i sent in. My friends Zire has Graffiti 2 on it - i prefer Graffiti 1 - although i haven't played with Graffiti 2 yet - but it seems that the big difference is that "2" supports "several strokes can form one character", whereas "1" only supports "one stroke equals one character" - simpler - but it seems quicker to write with.
This seems to be due to a Xerox patent on some Graffiti'esque handwriting system. The case is decided, in favor of PalmOne, but Xerox might appeal it, if anyone knows anymore about this please write me back, i found this on NYT:http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9C0CE6DB143EF936A15756C0A9629C8B63
Enough about patents - hopefully the EU will vote againts software patents (eventhough i have no idea whether this is a software patent or not) - it seems that the only one getting software patents are the big US companies harkmicrosofthark- and who needs them?
The best thing today is that i got word back about my mathematics for programmers exam - and i got an 8!!! This is completely out of character for me, i'm supposed to be bad at mathematics - but there you have it - i'm a genius and if anybody says otherwise - i'll sue them all the way to hell!!!

I almost don't care if our next Primeminister will be an obnoxiously "perfect" guy who don't now how to drink.
Basic rule of thumb in leadership, anyone who claims not to be fallible is! And anyone who have only been drunk once or twice in his entire life - should not have any say over other people.

This is not a comment, but a cry for help.
I'm on bgbank.dk/netbank and I have a problem with Firefox. BGbank requires at least 8 characters as login, which is posible with IE, but my Firefox only allows 6 characters and I can't login.
Please advise how to change that or give me a path to someone who can help me.
Best regards
I have never used BG-bank so i have no idea how it works. If the html form has a limit on the number of characters that can be entered in a text input field, both firefox and IE should have this limitation. So it sound either like javascript from hell (ahh, you don't run IE - i'll just parse NS4 html to you) or some ActiveX problem.
This is not the place for such a thing (plus. no one will ever read this comment apart from me, because i get email notifications) - write BG-bank and asks them.
