My customers are poeple at home. Affordable accomodation often requires sharing the residence with 1 or more roomates who may or may not be family members.
Similarly computers are often shared! Infact my Win XP image is 5 Windows in 1. I have setup 5 user accounts on it.
When sharing a PC, privacy is definitely an issue. So in the name of privacy, and to help remove undesireable clutter, I configure iLsystem wiper to delete cookies, history of browser and other info found in recent, I also turn off auto complete.
All you have to do is use the same username and password for all your accunts so logging into them does not require extensive use of mnenomics.
