Ask your dumbest question here. The one you're afraid to ask for fear of appearing stupid. Don't worry. The groundrule for this conference is that you can't make fun of anyone for stupidity or ignorance or just plain dumbness. These qualities are rewarded here in this topic. Try making fun or someones quesiton and find yourself on real only, real fast.

OK Terry, you're on. Explain to me the ins and outs of cookies. I noticed you set one, and it seems every other website wants to give me one these days. I know this isn't just Christmas spirit. It's said that viruses can be set, that all kinds of info better kept private can be accessed, etc. I've also heard that, used properly, cookies are of benefit to everyone. Some sites are polite and kindly carry on if you reject the proferring, others want to hit you a dozen times. These sites do not get accessed again!
