What a surprise! Neither does the MaccabiOnline site (because "only Internet Explorer is sufficiently secure", as I have been informed by Maccabi). It was mentioned here not long ago that neither does the Clalit site. I do not think informing any of these people is an effective approach. Maccabi, for example, has told me repeatedly that that they have received many complaints, and that they have no plans to accommodate them. I think that the ONLY approach that is potentially productive would be to start with the State Comptroller (Mevaker haMedina), and make the point that even those who are not Windows users pay the same taxes and sick-fund feesand are entitled to the same services from the State and State-regulated bodies. And then to go on to a court case (doesn't somebody have an attorney brother-in-law?) making the same argument. Pointing out that we are deprived will cut zero ice, because the voice of the small percentage of users of these sites that do not use Windows is simply too feeble. > There is a phone number on that page.

When I mentioned some years ago to the Bezeq business office that I do not have Windows on my machine (I had only OS2 then, which would not yet work with their ADSL), I was informed that I was talking nonsense, because every computer has Windows. Just as landlords of rental apartments with central heating feel they have fulfilled their responsibility by keeping the temperature so high that nobody complaints that they are cold, and ignore anybody that prefers not to have to perspire in January, none of these sites gives a tinker's dam about the few whose browsers don't dig Windowese.
