No, I've always used a news reader to post, but when I finally noticed the
web posting I wanted to try it out just so I'd know how if I was at a
computer without a news reader.  Since I signed up for lugnet at my work
computer, my home computer doesn't have any of the cookies.

I don't pay much attention to cookies, but it was my understanding
that they are stored locally, on the user's machine.

If so, couldn't somebody whip up a simple little "cookie jar" program
to help people transport cookies from their work machines to their
home machines?  I know I find myself in John's position all the time,
with one machine remembering my stuff and the other not.

(...) I use netscape navigator 4.5's roaming profiles support to do this, with both my cookies and my bookmarks. works great. (26 years ago, 25-Jan-99, to lugnet.admin.general)
