[clue-talk] From /. State of Colorado Calls Firefox Insecure, IE6 Safe

[Robert L. Harris]

   At the time of posting I got the same error with Firefox 3, but Now 
they have up a very simple page:

"The Colorado Department of Labor and Employment regrets that this 
service is not available at this time. "
