I tried that in the first version of Squeakland. It worked halfway
reliably on Netscape browsers. IE returns an empty list when asked for
plugins (and support has been pulled completely by now as you know).
There are other ways to do this using e.g. cookies, but only mentioning
the use of cookies usually gets people exited. You know, evil avoiding,
pure, politically correct Smalltalkers ;-) (lots of winking smilies).
