Thanks.  Two confirmations that it's not just me.  Any
man-in-the-middle 
that was in the middle for all three of us would be pretty
well placed, 
so I'll take it that it's not that.  (Not that it's likely,
when phishing 
is so much easier, but you never know...)

Yes, I'll probably download the new certs.  Now I just have
to figure out 
where they go! =8^)  Probably not too hard, and anyway, now
that I know 
it's not just me, I can accept the BofA cert manually and
get my bills 
paid, thus taking the urgency out of fixing the root cert
thing.

Confirmation that others were having issues too was the
/big/ hump to get 
over, so thanks again for that! =8^)
