However, if Prof. Hart has worked out a wonderful way of preserving state and/or identity for financial or search transactions without using something like cookies, I'd love to hear what it is. Or maybe I'm just doing some 'seriously expert usage' all the time. Perhaps Prof. Hart needs to read the book _Cookies_ or something else published since 1923. Of course if we all want the net to stay the same way it was when he signed up as user #100....... Sure....uh huh..... dan -- Good, Fast, and Cheap: Which two of the three would you like?
