[iBook] Cookies

[Scott Warren]

When I delete all my cookies, my pants fit better.... <hehe>

Cookies are mainly for webpages to "remember" stuff about you.  
Deleteing them just means that any webpage you visited won't know you 
when you get there (not a bad thing).  Example:  Go to www.google.com 
and under the preferences, you can set where it shows you 100 search 
results instead of the default 10, and you can open results in a new 
window.  Those preferences are saved to a cookie file.  Delete you 
cookies and its back to default.  They will also store any of those 
"log me in automatically" passwords you might use on websites.

Spam filters are the only way to automatically move your spam, but it 
will not reduce the spam you get, its just moved somewhere else.  Only 
a new email address will rid yourself of spam... until the spammers get 
ahold of that one also....
