<h1>Browser Not Supported</h1>
<p>Sorry, this site doesn't support older versions of Internet Explorer, because they are dreadfully insecure.</p>
<p>To fix this, please do one of the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Use <a href="http://mozilla.com/firefox">Firefox</a>, <a href="http://google.com/chrome">Chrome</a>, <a href="http://apple.com/safari/download">Safari</a>, or <a href="http://opera.com">Opera</a>.</li>
<li>Upgrade <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/internet-explorer/">Internet Explorer</a> to at least version 8.</li>
<li>Install <a href="http://code.google.com/chrome/chromeframe">Chrome Frame</a>.</li>
<li>Quit masquerading as Internet Explorer. (We're looking at you, Opera 7.)</li>
</ul>
<p>Very sorry for the trouble,</p>
