Nope, no warning. Running mozilla 1.7.3 and Mandrake 10.0 OE.

I don't have to. I have been with them for years and not had a significant

They even allow me to download account history as a .csv file, although the
Quicken files seem to work okay with Gnucash.

I don't run windows, period. End of story. If I can't do it with Linux, I go
elsewhere.
