Yes, I Just Checked .... Uh, Oh: The Federal Site Is Down; Oregon's Site Won't Work With Safari, Google, Firefox; It Only Works With Some Version Of IE; Amateur Hour


*******************************

By the way, if you are an Oregon resident, you are out of luck if you want to apply on-line using anything other than Internet Explorer (I cannot make this stuff up). From the Cover Oregon site:
1) Use the correct browser
This online application is built and tested for use with Internet Explorer. Using other browsers may cause the form to not work properly.

Important: The "submit" button does not work when used with the Macintosh Safari or Google Chrome browsers. Please do not use Macintosh Safari or Google Chrome browsers with this application. We are also not able to support the use of this form on Ipads or mobile devices at this time.
This is amateur hour. Can you imagine if Amazon or Apple or eBay worked only on one browser. This is absolutely crazy. And the website should be the easy part. And they have had years to work on this. I am incredulous.
