Why I haven't heard of it

I'm still not convinced. [1] I wrote a quick program [2] to act as a webserver (it serves up the same page reguardless of what you request) and had it log the request the client sends it. I got this from the most widely used browser:

GET /~spc/bm/ HTTP/1.1
Accept: image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, */*
Accept-Language: en-us
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.0; Windows 98; DigExt)
Host: linus.slab.conman.org
Connection: Keep-Alive


Nothing about screen size or resolution as far as I can see.
