You are spot on!

First qualifying post: All servers talk to each other in code. All browsers must be able to talk to the server in order to create communications. M$ does this for you, in the deep dark depths of the unseen world.

My preference is Linux and Swift Fox (high speed low drag Linux only FF), which is native code with a native coded browser. I have zero impact from virus, trojan, script, active X, java, and hang times. Yet, I still have SSL 3.0 security. Both my Federal Credit Union, and bank, (Citi-Bank) have chosen the higher security standards. However, there was a validation process that had to be executed prior to full access. As "B" posted above, that was conducted some time ago.

Is it not amazing how we get so involved for a simple question on this forum?

Use both, be happy, surf till you can't surf no-more!
