OTOH, didn't you know the browser war was over? BTW, i always thought it was really cheesy that MSIE uses Mozilla in its user agent string. I would be embarassed to have my company's product not be able to stand up by itself, for better or for worse.

Many ppl have internet connectivity (and it seems plenty of time to spend for surfing too) at work. Others just use their M$ infected workstation for surfing while doing their real work on systems where real work can be done. BTW: A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. I have a work station in front of me.

Why are you > surprised? Actually, from tests I did a few months back, this isn't accurate...the problem with the Netscape/Unix browsers is that for every version of Unix out there, it will report a different "browser"... But, it only seperates by 'distinct full name'...here's just a selection of the Linux ones reported, and each one of those would be in the above report "seperately": Mozilla/4.61 [en] (X11; I; Linux 2.3.2 i686) Mozilla/4.61 [en] (X11; I; Linux 2.3.9 i686) Mozilla/4.61 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.0.30 i586) Mozilla/4.61 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.0.34 i586) Mozilla/4.61 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.0.34 i686) Mozilla/4.61 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.0.35 i586) Mozilla/4.61 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.0.35 i686) Mozilla/4.61 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.0.36 i386) Mozilla/4.61 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.0.36 i586) Mozilla/4.61 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.0.36 i586; Nav) Mozilla/4.61 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.0.36 i686) Mozilla/4.61 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.0.36 i686; Nav) Mozilla/4.61 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.1 i586) Mozilla/4.61 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.10 i586) Mozilla/4.61 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.10 i686) Mozilla/4.61 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.10-ac11 i686) Mozilla/4.61 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.10-ac3 i586) Mozilla/4.61 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.5 i586) Mozilla/4.61 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.5 i686) Mozilla/4.61 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.5-15 i486) Mozilla/4.61 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.5-15 i586) Mozilla/4.61 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.5-15 i586; Nav) Mozilla/4.61 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.5-15 i686) Mozilla/4.61 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.5-15smp i686) Mozilla/4.61 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.5-22 i586) Mozilla/4.61 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.5-22 i686) Mozilla/4.61 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.5-22smp i686) Mozilla/4.61 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.5-23cl i586) Mozilla/4.61 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.6 i686) Mozilla/4.61 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.7 i586) Mozilla/4.61 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.7 i686) Mozilla/4.61 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.8 i686) Mozilla/4.61 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.9 i586) Mozilla/4.61 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.9 i686) Mozilla/4.61 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.3.0 i586) Mozilla/4.61 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.3.10 i586) Mozilla/4.61 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.3.12 i686) Mozilla/4.61 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.3.5 i586) Marc G.
