Warning! anything that you post to the newsgroups
can be found by others using the newsgroups search engines , e.g., Deja News . All a person needs to know about you is
your e-mail address, or your name, or what newsgroups you frequent, etc. This means that
your employer or potential employer can find out about you without you knowing
about it. I think that I know what some of you are thinking ... now, she tells us! (~

Trouble remembering your user names
and passwords?
If you use Microsoft's Internet Explorer 4 or 5, you can
automatically save you user name and password, Netscape doesn't have
this feature (that I know of). Additionally, it is a good idea to save
your user names and passwords on 3 x 5 cards in an index card file or on
a spiral version of the cards in case your computer crashes, etc. Here
are two neat programs, the first one keep passwords, while the second
program has a few more features:
PassKeeper
for Windows (Free)
Password
Keeper for Windows (Free to try, if you
decide to buy, you'll pay $20 by U.S. Mail or $25 if you order over the
telephone or at their Web site. They charge $5 to process the credit
card orders.)
