[ubuntu-za] Forcing me back to Microsoft

[Jan Greeff]

Am I missing something here? I installed Chrmium from the software 
centre, the same result: does not open anything more recent than Flash 
Player 11.2 but I need 11.3 for SARS.

I agree about SARS not playing the game, but that does not help me one 
bit at this stage.  The tax man owes me a lot of money but before I can 
get it back I need to submit my returns.
