DearWebby is actually Helmut Morscher, the CEO of Webby, inc.
Originally the "Tech Support Pits" were reports of the funniest tech support incidents, but over the years the
column gradually shifted to answering tech support questions put forward by the readers of the Dear
Webby Humor Letter.
This collection of computer and web advice was started partly because readers demanded an archive, and partly
because some questions were asked again and again. Each page has a different day's Tech Support Pits column.
Have FUN!

Tech Support Pits column from Dear Webby's Humor Letter of
10/27/04: Cookies
Tech Support Pits:
From Bonnie===
Dear Webby
I was told by someone when I bought my first computer that
I would have to clear the cookies from the page and I seem
to remember that I should never delete the first one.
I have no idea where to find the page that has the cookies on
it and wouldn't know how to proceed if I did. I have searched
through the instructional books that I have and do not find
"cookies" listed in the indexes. Can you help? Please.
I love your humor and pictures.
The pictures of you father's cactus are beautiful - didn't realize
that there were so many varieties.
Thank you for the help.
Bonnie
Dear Bonnie
If you don't go to disreputable sites, don't worry about
cookies. Your bank, for example, will plant a cookie to
make it easier for you to get to your account. The same
with your phone and electricity company.
Not all cookies are bad, but if somebody goes to
disreputable sites, they will get hit with a lot more than
just cookies.
If you want to delete all your cookies, click on
TOOLS,
INTERNET OPTIONS, and there right in the middle
you have a button to kill the cookies.
Have FUN!
