well i must say, i'm partially impressed with your ability to implement the counter.

1) what happened to the location info box? (your IP is, your provider is...)

2) wheres this utility to say your configuration.. i didn't see that on nerdy, or on sitecounter

ok, ignore #1, seems firefox was just flaky for me

unless told otherwise, your browser makes availble to javascript system information. Some of that includes operating system, screen size, what not. MOst hit counters use javascript to post to their site to catalog, so they get a full http post and their payload from javascript, in this case browser, referal info, a unique session id established with the counter for that session to distinguish unique sessions, and flash versions, and unless you mess with the inner setting of firefox (i love the web devoper tool bar) firefox will identify the browser version for each http post.
