<John, didn't you know about the Netscape bug that allowed a person to retrieve a file from your hard drive? This was discovered several months ago and corrected. The person that wrote the pirate site would have to know the file they're trying to retrieve beforehand though. Then there was a similar problem with Active X on the Internet Explorer browsers. Who knows what bugs that they haven't fixed yet.> None of that has anything to do with cookies, or that apple web site. Yes, I do no about the various and sundry widely publicised security loopholes in both Netscrape and Internet Expunger. None of these bugs have shown any kind of plot by the apple website to steal sensitive information off of you computer.
