Actually, I use Firebird and the Macromedia plug-ins work with no problem. As I recall, it was an easy install. Just go to the plug-in page and download them. As far as automatically downloading the bank statements, I'm not familiar with a product that does but that in no way means its not available. Just about any checkbook program can take the text download file and import it. I know it's not exactly what you wanted, but it's close. > -----Original Message----- > From: fedora-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:fedora-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of LoBue, Mark > Sent: Wednesday, November 05, 2003 12:15 PM > To: 'fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx' > Subject: RE: hoax or bad taste joke by Redhat's CEO? > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: John Hearns [mailto:john.hearns@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] > > Sent: Wednesday, November 05, 2003 10:11 AM > > To: 'fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx' > > Subject: RE: hoax or bad taste joke by Redhat's CEO? > > > > > > On Wed, 5 Nov 2003, LoBue, Mark wrote: > > > > > "checkbook".
