I was telling you (snit) how to change the font size that Win8 uses;
I was -not- talking about browsers.

How would you do this yourself, as an OSX user ?

If you think "tmp.gallopinginsanity.com/AmazingFont.png" is funny,
Check out <<A hRef='http://Jeff-Relf.Me/Snit.PNG'
 target=_blank>This screenshot of "prescottcomputerguy.com"</A>>.

I'm using the following FireFox settings:

  Jeff-Relf.Me/userContent.CSS.TXT
  Jeff-Relf.Me/userChrome.CSS.TXT
  ( remove the ".TXT" and put it in your profile's "Chrome" folder )

Normally, I use this Win8 Theme ( to run it, remove the ".TXT" ):

   Jeff-Relf.Me/_Best_.Theme.TXT
   [  For the Control Panel, I use this Theme:
        Jeff-Relf.Me/_Control_Panel_.Theme.TXT  ]

You said your AIM bot:

I couldn't do that... I don't like fooling people.
When Jay Leno, or someone, does that ( on the street, for laughs ),
I fast-forward through it... because I can't stand to watch it.

Bots use fake "User-Agent:" strings,
with many variations... including the low-end stuff.

StatCounter ( and the like ) really suck, I think.
I know, because I've looked -very- closely at the raw logs.

Most servers return the "index.html" page when you omit the /.

Your server is different; it does a re-direct.  It fooled me
because, at first, I didn't notice that that last slash was missing.
