today I experienced the joys of using a more "advanced" system than the HP3000.

I filled out the website form for my local bank's on-line banking system.

Had to fill in various items, name, social security number, mother's maiden
name, bank account number,
password question, password, etc.

Then it takes you to a new screen where I was shown an error message
stating that one of the fields
was missing or incorrect.

I had filled in all of the required fields, so it must have been that some
field was incorrect.
Back to the previous screen, which is now blank and I start all over
again.  Only to get the same
error message again....

Now isn't this **way** better than that dumb old view screen, which would
have highlighted the
field in error  and left the rest of the data on the screen for me to
correct and hit enter again!

I've called the bank - found out it was because I put a dash in my account
number - and I'm back at
the blank screen, filling in all of the fields for the 4th or 5th try.
