Jon,

Only as accurate as your Regex and the browsers identifiability,
but look into the session browser value:

[if session browser =~ /msie.*win/i]
You claim to be an msie running on windows
Seem to be a lot of you out there (
[/if]

[if session browser =~ /aol/i]
You have mail!
<snicker> Caught you !
[/if]

[if session browser =~ /libwww-perl/i]
Your an automated peeping Tom !
The nerve of some machines !
[/if]

[if session browser =~ /freebsd/i]
You appear to be running on a FreeBSD box.
Congratulations )
[/if]

[if session browser !~ /mac/i]
I do not believe you are on a Mac system.
[/if]
