"You can TRY (and I don't think I did, I was just pissed off) turning on the developer menu in Safari, and setting the user agent as IE6, but I don't think it'll work. " I had planned to do this, either in Safari, or Firefox (or both) "It might be interesting to see the source of the page they're sending. " Planned on that too. "But if it doesn't, and they're not providing said free wifi to ALL guests that want it... that's a legal leg to beat them with. That beating might best be a PR thing - a major hotel chain that's discriminating against Apple... Announcing that to the public will hurt their bottom line. It would be cheaper for them to fix the problem. " Unfortunatley, the owner of My company has (through this building) a vested interest in NOT bad mouthng the hotel chain publicly. From a guest perspective, this would be something to think about wherever you go, these companies are hulking giants, and don't always realize that they are driving people away through their actions, until you throw a rock at their heads... Certianly, higher ups here could exert preasure, that does not mean it will change, and I hope here is a solution that can be accomplished at the User level until then,( I am realy hoping that User agent switching can work) because I am on the ground, and have to see disgruntled guests. If I can't give them a work around, I (and they) think I'm not doing the best I can for them. Guests (and other tenants) don't make the distinctions between all of the companies involved here, they see the guy with the tool belt, and think I can fix anything. All you I.T. guys aught to know the feeling ;) Thanks for all of the replies, and wish me luck. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
