I-Net surveys overwhelming support the notion that net-sters cherish their privacy. For the curious, it is easy to see what kind of ‘information footprints’ you leave behind at a website after a visit. Try this. Visit the Anonymizer website. Click on: “You don’t have to tell us, we already know all about YOU.” Within just a few seconds, you will be able to see what a webmaster can learn about you. Typically, it will display your operating system, (Windows 3.X, Windows 95, and others), your browser type (Netscape, MS Internet Explorer, or Mosaic), your ISP (Internet Service Provider) and may indicate the site of your previous visit. Maybe more. It’s a bit scary.
