My wife recently complained to me about the same thing ... she has been
shopping via that oldnavy website for a few years and just recently they
added that restriction. She uses some useragent switcher for firefox and
the oldnavy website works fine (she ordered via it).
Let's complain to Old Navy.
Let's make a website that publicly documents companies that want to make
it difficult or lose customers.
I found webpages about this.
