And when I used Win2K (not on the list), and got past that, it said "if
you are using Linux software, this does not support the 3D
environment...". I don't know how you are supposed to get to that
message.

I tried Konqueror too (on FreeBSD, this should make no difference at
all, I just happen to have KDE2/Konqueror only on FreeBSD) which seems
much better at Windows-mangled sites, but it spat that out as well.
Konqueror allows customisation of the "user agent" ID; I tried this, and
all that happened was that the error disappeared. The content didn't
appear.

I see that there is an IBM ad on the page. If I were responsible for PR
at IBM I would pull this.
