Heh. Yes, I was very impressed by this idea a long time ago. And 
immediately set it, so that the target websites would get the correct 
user agent information[0]

I left it that way right up until I cranked up a VMWare session for 
manipulating Turd/Visio docs for Real Work, and discovered that VMWare 
gets all upset and refuses to run...

Cheers,

[0] And I don't know what gives anyone the impression that this data is 
actually being extracted/examined, much less analysed, in this day, age 
& economic climate?

Rather, a substantial %-age of websites I visit show all the tell-tale 
signs of no longer having a competant web master working there...
