[Dprglist] SRS contest

[David Anderson]

The Team webpage pointed to from the "SRS Robothon" link from Donna that 
I can get to using Firefox only has two options, download the app or use 
the already installed app.  I see no option to use a browser.  There is 
no "Continue on this browser" option.

I will ask for a third and final time and then I'll quit:  does anyone 
actually have the URL for the browser option?
