Well, that's your experience... I have no problems downloading a windows binary from mozilla (for instance) because the browser detection is accompanied by clear information about alternate procedures: right below the download button suggested by the browser sniffing, there is an "other systems and languages" link. It's not a matter of being "too exited" with an "I can tell you" routine: is about how smart you are using that routine, and if it gives a plus to your site or not. If it's used properly, it will give a benefit to the less experienced user, if it's used "just because the hype", it will suck. Let's try to be smart then... :-) _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
