In the past I've struggled to submit my taxes using Firefox on Linux.  There were lots of weird 
errors about it trying to send me an octet-stream when I tried to submit a page.

I didn't think I could use Silverlight but I played the game long enough to find out I could use 
Moonlight.  So v1 is packaged for Debian and v2 is on the web site.  But you need v4 to use the CO 
tax site.

So I did my taxes on paper in under 10 minutes (from opening the book to sealing the envelope). 
I'll be able to do my state taxes on paper for the next 10 years and still spend less time than the 
web site has taken for the past few.
