Your subject line should read something like, "Why are there clueless
web authors?"   :-/

If JavaScript is disabled, you won't get anything. If enabled, there is
a really horrible browser *and* operating system sniffer in use. It's
the several hundred lines of:
http://74.8.243.132/Worcester/Scripts/brwsniff.js

It looks for a dozen OSes, but no Windows versions newer than XP.

I copied all the JavaScript into a text file, and <shudder!> there is
*62,800 lines* of the stuff!!!  That is ridiculous.

Rather than complain about the browser(s), you should write the author
of the site and tell him to buy a clue.

In answer to your subject line:  "Losing."
