    Also I have it ingrained in to me from MoD ITSO tellings off to always lock my computer when I leave it. Annoying, but it become habit.
    Security - totally agree (on shared computers naturally)....

    Did your mod systems not have the card readers? At central Gvt they have the card system so you wear your access card round your neck on one of those 80's illuminous springy things and plug it into the side of the keyboard - when you walk away the card pops out and locks the system.....

    If people got a new lanyard, it was springier and sometimes it'd pull out and the card would smack em in the face

I am extremely busy so if you do contact me or need a reply to a forum post then use the email or PM features offered because I do miss things and get tied up for days at a time!

            Some of those in my old department deserved one with a sight more than an access card.

                      You're still orange on my laptop - is that why?

                      Also while we're talking cookies, does this mean the site know every thread I visit and every post I've read? I got spooked the other night when Niddy told a member that he had seen she'd read a post so he didn't need to add the link. I'm not a fan of Big Brother

                        Don't be so daft. We can see where everyone is and what they're doing but not what they're saying. ie I know if you read my post when you thank it (DOH!!)

                        I am not Marc gander. I do not spy and take extreme offence to claims of the contrary. I suggest you read the site problems section of the forum and you'll see this exact same discussion from last year.

                        To view your pm's in my opinion is an invasion of privacy.

                            But I am daft with computers which is why I asked the silly question I didn't mean could you actually see or hear me - if I thought that I'd get all dressed up and brush my hair before logging on I know a green body lights up under my username if I'm logged in, and I can see who's 'at home' if I look at the bottom on the Forum page (whatever it's called). I find that rather comforting when I'm freaking out over debt in the wee small hours
