It took Disney months to finally allow Mac users into Blast, that was the
problem.

And before they officially allowed it, some bored Mac users discovered if
they changed coding in their browsers to fool the site into thinking they
had a Win computer they could get in with absolutely no problems. So
Disney basically had checks for Win programs and so blocked out Mac users
for no reason other than their web programming.
