Why disable access to software features?

It would be useful if our public access Netscape stations could do this as
I'm sure you've noticed, people often leave the terminal logged into
wierd sites. Do you think it could be arranged? (Or is it doing it already
and I haven't noticed!).

Thanks

Jane

Try this for size:

<TITLE>Blah blah blah</TITLE>
<META http-equiv="Refresh" content="600; url=http://your.lib.nl/home.html">
</HEAD>
<BODY>

</HTML>

Check out my home page <URL:http://hill.lut.ac.uk/People/jon.html> to see
it in action (after 30 seconds!).  Note that it only seems to work with
Netscape at the moment.
