You should threaten your stockbroker to either fix his system so that
you can contact him to do your transactions, or you will look around for
a new stockbroker that you can reach.  Suggest that he move to a Mac,
since Macs are immune to all the Windoze viruses floating around.  ;-)

Too bad the only way to get people to switch is to make Windoze an
excruciatingly painful experience...
