Cookies

Agreed, cookies are a royal pain in the arse. But Billy Gates is not the
culprit on this one. Tim Berners-Lee and his cohorts who invented the WWW
included cookies. You'll get cookies on Macs, Linux boxes, and any other
computer with a browser that complies with the WWW standard.

cookie knowing which hand I use

I use a blocker
It works OK
I use a spyware remover
It does a good job

There are some sites that wil not allow you on

That is their right

I have used adaware and spybot search & destroy as well as the Microsoft settings that curb the
cookies. Cookies are harmless in that if your settings are correct no information other than your
visit should be recorded. I can recommend these two programs highly.
