Right, that's why I switched banks. I left Bank Discount for Bank
HaPoalim and let Bank Discount know why.

Dolphin-part has some really good features,especially for those of us
who prefer one-click. About the only thing now missing is the rich
context menus. That's why I need people to tell me what they are
missing. All that will be in Konqueror, but with Konqueror's UI. You
won't even know that it's dolphin underneath.
