And its not only Arachne. My wife uses only Windows, and prefers
FireFox. She plays Sims 2. Most of the websites associated with this
mind-numbing game insist on IE - otherwise downloads and stuff don't
work, and some of it isn't even visible. So, she has FireFox pretend to
be IE and it all works just fine, as it should have in the first place.

I couldn't agree more ! I am proud to use Arachne and other DOS
browsers, and I would always wish the stupid webmasters to know it.
But sometimes websites will exclude all but a few favoured browsers, so
we should have the means to tell them lies !
Which means being able to do it on-the-fly !
