Ok, that settles the question.  One more TODO solved.  :)

I think so... one time when I was testing the website, I clicked on an
os logo two times before realizing that it wasn't a link.  I'm not
claiming that I'm a totally representative web browsing person, but I
figured that if I made the mistake twice, and there was no real reason
*not* to make them links, we might as well make them links.

Really?  I get a standard "link hover mouse cursor" with firefox 3.6.8
on linux, and I can see the link url in the bottom status bar.  I
suspect this is a brower-specific thing, though.

Agreed.
