Re: [LUG] Black List

 

Hi

LLoyds tsb's site works great with both mozilla and Linux,  perhaps this 
is something a magazine could look into,  it would be good publicityfor 
the banks that are Linux friendly,  perhaps an awards type thing, 
awarded annually,  so those not getting it this year, may start thinking 
about it for next year.   Not sure what the circulation numbers are, but 
this is the sort of thing that the linux mags could co-operate on in 
order to get the same results out to as many people as possible, 
regardless of choice of magazine.

at the end of the day it would be done for end user benefits, 

I am sure that if users who are looking for a bank and want internet 
access, this could be a big deciding factor,
