OT: BTW, I had a golden "cookie moment" yesterday: I have rolled back the calendar on my laptop and encountered the following true experience.

I was trying to surf iQVC a shopping channel for a new teflon skillet for a Christmas gift. Most of the damn snoopin' cookies were deflected by hitting the cancel button, but I did get ONE interesting one:

THAT pop-up cookie "permission to set" window pointed out that it couldn't even ask me to permit a cookie because my calendar said xyz date in history, which PRE-DATED the "birth of the cookie" in programmer language.

Needless to say I refused, and was promptly booted out of that section of iQVC. Pissed off some advertiser who just cost iQVC a sale.

New wrinkle now, eh? Bet I just got another Java Programmer fired<g>
