I understand that there's been some grief recently, and lots of people have got upset - but please, can I have my cookie back.

I used to hate cookies, but I'm missing mine

Wolf

Is there a radio show tonight?

Go up to the top right hand side of the page, and click on HELP - it takes you to Joe Offer's complaints and repairs shop where you can find out what you are doing wrong. Or what someone else is doing wrong.

I hadn't realised that existed until today. There's some great reading in there. And some useful advice.

I just disovered this last night. I'm not sure if this is way you are to do it but worked for me. I hit traslate at the bottom of letter I wanted to print. Hit file at top left of screen and then print. I also sent the letters to some friends. Hope It works for you. I think I'm going to have to get somemore paper an ink

But Grey Wolf, if you're not listed as a "guest," you must be operating with a cookie. Right?

Joe,

No, my problem was that I had to re-login with my password every time I tried to connect - if I went to another site and came back, I had to login again.

Thankfully, this seems to have been solved now - whether it was something I did, or mudcat did.. I have no idea

They are called cookies or "Magic cookies" because (a) geeks basically think of themselves as Cookie Monsters (b) they were originally sort of "snuck" into the user's files without his awareness, making the programmer feel like he had his hand in the cookie jar. They are just little strings of (usually) text which save certain user parameters for reminding the server (for example) who you are. Saves you having to log in every time in that case. The client (your machine) hands the Dwait Big Sewvew Machine a cookie to placate it. :>)

ahhh, I see. So the little elves that work this gadget run on cookie's, is that it? Is that why there is this little slot on the not glass bit, you know, the bit that slides out and holds a coffee cup? And where do I pour the milk?

Oh no! No milk! Geeks don't "do" milk, especially not in client boxes. (Please don't let Spaw get aholt of that set-up line!)

To Get Your Cookies Back

1. Stick two fingers down your throat
2. Tickle the "madullaoblongatta" 3. Spew forth the

mark of the beast

If you WANT to lick it up
....................................and take it BACK
You Are More Than Welcome to Do So

But also recognize the Biblical admonition "A pig returns to its wallow, and a dog to its vomit."

Do you REALLY want them BACK?????
