September is going to be interesting.

Working in schools, it's the busiest time of year setting everyone up and dealing with the newbies.

Additionally, Chrome and Firefox are ditching old plugins and barely any content providers have taken any heed of their (years of) warnings. They will no doubt recommend that we "just use Internet Explorer".

Banks, however, are quite content with us being on Internet Explorer where junk like this happens every week and, yet, won't make their stuff work on other web browsers except through plugins and junk.

September is going to be fabulous. "Why doesn't this work? It worked last year!" "Chrome switched that feature off" "So, let's use Firefox" "So did Firefox". "So let's go to IE" "The browser we stopped using as it was insecure and causing no end of problems? And the one that's being retired soon in favour of the new Edge browser?".
