Shame it wasn't the other major Bank, the one i actually use, the one was not on the brink of collapse and that never needed to be bailed out by the Government over a decade ago and was never involved in dodgy Ansbacher offshore accounting practices.

Hopefully some day the other Bank will migrate to Gnome too, but it seems unlikely when their strategy for cutting IT costs was to outsource everything to HP.
