Hey guys I wanted to enter in a site but it said the site would be better using IE ... and then didnīt let me enter!!!
I canīt seem to find where I can change what browser Firefox identifies its self as... I know that other browsers have this feature so I assume its there!!
/rant on
Perhaps while you're there, you can email the webmaster and see if they'll get off their lazy Frontpage-writing butt and write a site that everyone can read. Perhaps I sound a bit hostile, but I don't see any IE specific tricks out there that are worth alienating anyone who can't have access to IE.

I noticed that. I went there with Opera 7.5 beta1 and they did the same thing to me, but I was able to get to iberia in with the link at the bottom. I havn't changed the useragent from their wussy sell-out default of msie6 yet, but it still stopped me. I think that you have to use a useragent that also tells them that you are using Windows. That horseshit is antique. Perhaps a formatting difference between NS4.7 and the rest, but not too many people use ns4.7 any more, as it crashes on most modern pages.
The other one is just badly framed - which are easier to use than tables (and don't require thinking and planning like CSS), but these people just eliminated anyone who can't see and is relying on a text-only page for their voice reader. Still discriminating against "those gimps". Makes me mad! I know very little about web design, but my little personal site is readable with lynx (the pictures show a bit of degradation <---that was a joke, people!). I changed a page I had made a while ago with frames for that reason alone. I did it with a wysiwyg editor (composer, selida, and/or nvu) and edited the pages by hand a bit too, but I really don't know what I'm doing yet. I think they still look nice.
Ok I turned off the user agent switcher (guess I screwed up some setting in there) and got into Iberia, and konquorer seems to let me get into the muchoviaje page!
Its funny that konquorer will open muchoviaje but not iberia!!!!! I could go crazy with this... but at least I can get into them!
Thanks for your rants guys... it makes me feel better.
I think konq is just set to be too paranoid. I got in, but I have javascript enabled (and java, flash, etc). BTW, mozplugger works with konqueror (so you can watch movie trailers with mplayer and stuff like that)
Ahhhh dialup. The days of downloading FreeBSD in 3 nights........
Dialup is responsible for my introduction to Debian. Its the best network install I have tried (better than the *BSDs that took forever). I think that it took about 22 hours to downilad and compile Qt, if I remember correctly....
