Ah, you've hit on something I've been thinking about. Unfortunately, I 
don't control the web server so I don't think I can use cookies (am I 
mistaken - I'm not too familiar with cookies). My ISP does provide a 
"Guestbook" function for its users. I was thinking it would be cool to 
save things like preferences as serialized binary objects converted to 
strings and added to the guestbook via an HTML post - maybe even a 
shared floppy where people could save programs. Crazy.
