WHAT This cgi script detects what operating system the visitor to the website is using, and adjusts the background image accordingly. It displays a soft green meadow for Windows users, purple explosion for Mac users, and an army of penguins for Linux users.
I searched for a variety of wallpapers, ones from the 90s were really nice... But then decided to go with the iconic contemporary graphics. I cleaned up the code I did earlier today (see below). Trying to enter the CGI script as a wikiwar competitor on the main page... not working. Looking into how to operate code from within the wiki, don't know :)
