Logging Off of Public PC's

A few weeks ago I used the local library's computer to check my email and then didn't log off my Yahoo account. So the next time I used my email, there was an email from a stranger apologizing for looking at my email and saying that he/she had looked in my personal pics folder too. And also reminding me to log off after using the library's computers.

IT was funny, and I have not forgotten it. :wah:

Good point. It ws good the person was honest.

I use the library computer daily. I always try to remember to unclick the "remember me" button. But I always log off too. But the system our library has, I think deletes all cookies as soon as the user logs off the computer. We have to sign in with our library card number and last n ame. But better safe than sorry.

Yah that was what was weird. And in the email he/she apologized.

It was a good thing I only had smileys saved in my personal pics folder.

That is creepy. A lesson to be learned there, I think:)
