[GLLUG] New GLLUG Site, first pass

[Richard Houser]

I'm with the majority here.  You need a web browser that supports at
least some modern standards.  I'd say Firefox 1.0 era or later support
(lynx, konqueror, opera, etc. are all options).  Your crash could be
related to any number of problems, and it's just not worth the effort
it would take to diagnose.
