[IMC-Tech] Re: Public access terminals...

[Jay Schubert]

Great job on the public terminals!

Perhaps it might be helpful if we post a small amount of general info about
public access etiquette near the machines.

I believe that Garry is right in saying that if users forget to sign out and
instead simply close firefox, they may be surprised to find that their gmail
session is still active on that machine and any person who walked up to the
computer 10 minutes later and pointed the browser at gmail.com would have
access to their mail box regardless of whether they checked 'remember me'.
