I am working on one of those freeipods type pyramid schemes, and one of the offers that I want todo is only availible to those who use Windows. All the website is doing is checking my browser signature and seeing that I am running a mac operating system.

Is there any way around that so it looks as if I am on a windows? I have firefox, IE, safari, mozilla...theres gotta be a way...

thanks to anyone who helps me out here...

If you enable the Debug-menu in Safari (with OnyX, Tinkertool or whatever), you'll be able to make Safari identify as whatever you want (including Windows MSIE 6.0)

- also known as User Agent String Spoofing.

You're working on a pyramid scheme?
