You do not have to wait for something your end to break.  I accessed my
internet bank account for a statement last week and was informed that they
could no longer communicate with my antique software and they sent me a URL
to go get an up to date version.

Duly went there and it turned out to be Microsoft so I clicked away and was
about to download IE version 5.  Crikey, they wanted 100 Meg free disc space
so I spent another hour or two deleting files I never used but know, in all
probability, I will need next week at least.

Then I downloaded IE5.  Took three hours.

When Microsoft handed my system back to me I couldn't find my email program.
Instead I had a thing called Outlook Express.  Not only that but my address
book was missing so I couldn't get back to my bank.

Apt office pin-up joke.  Its difficult to remember when you are up to your
neck fighting  alligators, that your original intention was to drain the
swamp.
