What kills me is when I see Mozilla/4.03. Who remembers an NN4.03? I
don't. Also Sun systems give
Mozilla/4.7 [lang] (X11; I; SunOS x.x sun4u)
I means apparently it couldn't understand the value of the type of browser
making requests and who knows what X11 means? Where X11 is is normally the
word compatible.
