Try out www.techiegold.com - their site does not work correctly except
with IE and Netscape 6.  They have no plans to make it do otherwise.

Also, their passwording system is totally insecure.  But they say:
"Our servers are behind several firewalls so your password is safe."  
Methinks techies they are not.
