I once wrote an article (so to speak) explaining cookies to my mom. My main theme was that I don't understand why people are so up in arms about them. I suppose it must be an extension of the general dislike of being tracked. But given that vendors are going to keep track of your information -- as indeed they must, after all, my preferences, my Mastercard number, my shipping address and so forth -- why wouldn't I prefer they keep it on my own machine rather than with thousands of others in a central database that will eventually, inevitably be hacked?

I want different display preferences according to the different screen sizes. But when I switch from handheld to laptop or vice-versa, LISTSERV redraws the page on the new device to match the previous. I truly wish LISTSERV would keep display preferences in cookies on the respective devices rather than in a user profile on the site. <https://www.nationaljeweler.com/uploads/1686c5a187b9fa25b229fcbec8de9528.jpg> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
