That is only helpful if you only ever surf the web with *one* computer, using only one browser. I surf from any of about six different computers, depending on where I am and what I am doing, and using about nine distinct browsers. I admit that I am atypical in that regard, but this is one of the chief reasons I find website accounts hateful. -- Timothy Knox <mailto:t...@thelbane.com> I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.
