OK, using Konqueror 2.1.1 under Linux:

* click on "download", get a brief page saying something about detection, 
then get http://www.squeakland.org/plugin/detect/Error message. that says

OOPS!
The Web server cannot find the file or script you asked for.
Please check the URL to ensure that the path is correct. 
Please contact the server's administrator if this problem persists. 

Sadly, it doesn't tell me _which_ file or script I asked for and it couldn't 
find. I would tell the webmaster if I knew that.

Ok, try disabling Javascript. Now the top page looks funny (there are 
separate copies in different colors of the navbar). I click on download and 
get the same intermediate page 
(http://www.squeakland.org/plugin/detect/detect.html?/plugin/launch.html) but 
now it doesn't go to the OOPS page. So I click on the link and go to: 
http://www.squeakland.org/plugin/launch.html where I see another link to 
download it (let's ignore for the time being the fact that I have a broken 
install).

Now I'm in
http://www.squeakland.org/plugin/download.html. I see a cute penguin, whom I 
know to be the mascot of Linux. It says to click on the picture to install. 
Great!

So I click on it. This takes me to: http://www.squeakland.org/notyet.html 
where it says:

We are sorry but you have requested a feature that is not yet present. Please 
subscribe to the site news for getting information about enhancements to this 
site.

So I guess that the install is a dead-end for me.
