http://tinyurl.com/preview.php - at least these guys understand some of the
issues involved. At the cost of setting a preference cookie, clicking on one of
their shortened URLs will take you to a page that says where it's going to take
you. Of course, after that, you *still* have to ask yourself how safe it is to
click on that computerworld.com link. ;)
(For the record, computerworld.com links usually seem to be safe for your
computer - like most trade journals, most of their danger is how many IQ
points you lose reading the article :)
