[NTLUG:Discuss] ot, ibm and linux and browser support

Slightly off topic...

I visited the IBM web site today to register for a class my employer 
wants me to take, and while their online registration worked in general, 
and I was able to complete registration online in the end, two of their 
features that I needed didn't "support" my browser (Mozilla, Galeon, or 
Konqueror). I had to get on the phone, in other words - hold time and 
talking to tech support, customer service, background elevator music...  
When I reported the non support issue, they seemed a bit surprised that 
I was using something other than IE or Netscape, though they did note 
the issue and the fact that these are all standard Linux browsers.  Not 
sure that means anything in particular, but if they are serious about 
Linux (and they say they are) I would think they might be serious about 
standard Linux browsers.
