How does that work for bookmarks? My solution to that was a custom postgresql database along with a web page that queried the database to get the list. Since it is about the simplest database backed web application possible, I did a writeup about it that can be found at <URL: http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/hotlist/ >. Adding a maildrop that adds adds a URL to the list completes the systems. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
