A new internet standard called "Open Profiling Standard" or OPS will appear in browsers soon. What this standard does is to provide a standard way to store users information, such as name, address(es), phone numbers, e-mail addresses, credit card numbers, etc. and present these to various sites under user control. The user can, for instance, just submit their basic information but not their phone numbers or credit card info. And vendors can request that additional information be provided, such as browsing and purchasing preferences. Rob, I like this very much and it makes sense. The Mac has a utility one can buy that will type programmed information with a mouse click. This is a third party concept but one I use so I do not need to type the charge card number, address, etc. over and over. Glenn
