Question

I am creating a script that will show your computer information in Non-Geekeese. This is a dirty script so I know I have not cleaned it up yet, so please refrain from saying so.

I am looking for a site that breaks down the HTTP_USER_AGENT output into something more understandable to the end user.

For now it only shows OS and Browser, I want to incorporate several other aspects such as for windows systems show .Net versions, what type of processor using other outputs if I need to, etc…

Is there a place on the web that shows the data broken down, even if it is on a list. I have one for browsers, and OS’s as shown, but it seems that is all everyone else wants.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks.

Here’s CodeIgniter user agents list:
