On the Internet

On the Internet

I am referring to the letter from Osvaldo Coelho captioned
"Internet" (The Jakarta Post, Nov. 7, 1996). It is true that
"Big Brother is watching you on the Internet." I also found my
cookie, in my case, called "cookies.txt" in the Netscape program.
I am a little bit rattled by this fact, and would like to find
out what I could do about it. Are there any solutions to this
practice? Could we modify the info so that Netscape gets the
message?

I would propose that Mr. Zatni Arbi, who is regularly writing
for The Jakarta Post on computers, follows up on The Economist
article mentioned by Mr. Osvaldo Coelho.

As a matter of fact, it would be nice if we could contact
Zatni direct by e-mail, such as is possible with the authors of
the monthly automobile page.

Another question to The Jakarta Post. I remember that for some
time, The Jakarta Post went on the net, but it is nowhere
mentioned in the paper. Could you give me your web site?

United States, Germany and Hong Kong.
