I would like to know what happens when I use "the machinetype" function to check for PC or Mac and the user really uses a non-Apple or non-Intel machine. I mean, a PowerComputing machine (on the Mac side of the question) or a Cyrix (or AMD) CPU on the Intel side.
I've been using this function for a long time and only know realized that it can be a great mistake (hope not)!
Nothing to worry about. If they're on a Cyrix, it's Intel-compatible. If they're on a PowerComputing Mac, it's Mac-compatible.
It just shows what operating system it's running under. I mean, technically, the only "PC" was the IBM PC, but a Compaq still registers as an IBM PC.
Don't worry about it. :)
