A recent amusing one I had was my free browser couldn't be used to
upload a suspect malicious executable from a colleages PC to the
Symantec website.

One wonders if forcing people to use IE to upload malicious
executables is a mistake, or some sort of "virus" lockin?

Anyway the O2 site loads fine under Konqueror, so I suspect sloppy
browser type checking. Interestingly in the 56Kb of front page it
includes lots of Javascript checking for versions of Netscape that
appear to be blocked by whatever test you are hitting.

I fear this site will exclude non-broadband users before it excludes
free software users :(
