Folks,
	Here is something I would really love to have in Squeak.  It is a
"Cookie Zapper" with control.  I am upset at the amount of info that
companies like DoubleClick are collecting on me using cookies (in Netscape
or Internet Explorer).  I do want cookies for places I like and trust, but
I don't want cookies for others.
	There are cookies I want to keep.  I want Amazon to recognise me
when I log on.
	How about a Squeak program that does this:

() Keeps a dictionary of companies that have planted cookies in the past.
With each company is 'true' if I want to keep their cookie.
()  Silently erases the cookies of the ones I don't want.
()  Asks me when a new kind of cookie appears.

	I don't know how to make sense of the data in cookies, but you
probably do.  An application that handled them would be a service to
Squeak-kind.  And I could see inside it and tailor it to my needs, unlike
other cookie control programs.

--Ted.
