[WEB4LIB] Beware of pages changing your homepage. . .

[Martha Verchot]

Yes, I have found this irritating.

I found a number of sites that describe this as some 
kind of wonder for e-commerce.  In fact, there is a 
web company called Make Me Your Home Page, Inc. 
that is selling their version of the code for $129.  they 
claim that their software works on either Netscape 
or IE so it must be possible on both.

Here are a couple of examples:
------------
Make Me Your Home Page, Inc.
http://www.mmyhp.com/
http://www.mmyhp.com/readme.htm

====

Set Home Page instructions (IE) from 
http://www.danslagle.com/FrontPage/Easy.html

-------------
Think we could get up a class action suit against 
them for the staff time lost in resetting computers 
"damaged" by their code?

;-)

Unfortunately, the real offenders are our patrons
who hit the button when they know they are 
using a public computer that doesn't belong to
them.
