[Blindtlk] Cross Post: Facebook is for the Birds!

I'm not sure you *can* "fix it" because you don't *want* your computer
reporting as running Windows CE or the like because you may want to look at
the regular web site and the site might not let you. If you're running and
iPhone, that's OK but not otherwise. I'd call Facebook and see if you can be
connected to a technical weeny who can tell yu how to disable Facebook's
redirect.

No I don't no. How do I find out what my computer is id-ing itself as?
And how do I determine if this is the problem and "fix it"?
