I can see why.  (At least from a website design point of view.)

Unfortunately, Automatically Tuned Linear Algebra Software is still there, 
and I need it.

So, am I doomed to IE and this infernal W32 machine???  If that isn't a 
desperate cry for help, what is!  Are there any settings on FF I could 
change to block/allow stuff through without being singled out as an IT 
risk?

Besides website design, why is sourceforge no longer a friend?  No 
polemics required, however, an insightful list of why would be instructive 
to me.  If there is a URL to refer to, that's ok, as long as it is work 
safe... 

Thanks,
Bruce
