Idiots in the service business should know better than to customise
their services right out of usability.

If I were you I'd look for more intelligent people to pay my good money
to.  If I'm buying a service then I want one that suits my needs!

Note that if you don't like HTTP cookies, then J$ is only about an order

The only Java applet I've even wanted to try to run recently was the
Insight thing to look at the maps at www.davidrumsey.com, but I couldn't
even be bothered (I don't have a java interpreter installed by default
with Mozilla).  I now realise it would have been even more of a pain
given that they only supply .exe and .bin packed versions of their crap.
