Comment(by nacin):

 Replying to [comment:11 jane]:
 > I thought we agreed to leave it under Tools (for the reasons nacin
 suggests), but get rid of the Turbo link in the header (for all the other
 reasons). Can we just get rid of the Turbo link for now?
 The Turbo link only shows up if the browser has Gears installed. (It shows
 up under Tools just as long as it isn't Opera, though it could
 realistically make a more rigorous check.) I'm fine with getting rid of
 it, but maybe we should just rename it to "Gears"?

 Additionally, as said a few months ago, we can remove the message "Turbo
 is not available for your browser.", which is just kind of left there
 without a header or any explanation of what "Turbo" is.

 I say we clean this up then close this ticket out, and open a new ticket
 when browsers begin to drop Gears.
