For your info..

FEMA is only allowing users of the Microsoft Internet
Explorer browser to apply for hurricane relief funds.
"The now very much criticised US Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) has stopped Mac and Linux
victims of hurricane Katrina from applying for relief.
The agency, which is already in hot water for its
lack-lustre rescue efforts in New Orleans, has created
a web-based service that only works for users of
Windows and IE6." There is a work-around for Firefox
users
