IE 9 with RoboForm

Doesn't Roboform comply with Windows NT security standards in honoring

I have no idea because I have no experience with RoboForm, and I'm too
lazy to research it

Char Jackson, in his reply, points out an error of mine, due in part to
that very ignorance.

The vast majority of sites that I visit don't cause the login dialog
to come up just by visiting the site, including Amazon. I think I
remember two of about 300 of my saved sites that initially did that,
but they were easy to configure away.

Roger that, but I don't have anyone else using my computer, so there
isn't any real risk of someone sitting down and entering sites I don't
want them to enter.

That's why I mostly fear the above-mentioned termites and burglars

Please ignore the second sentence - I had a brainquake

Burglars do weird things during their 'visits', like making a sandwich
or taking a shower or perhaps even using the computer, but I wonder
how you feel about buglers? Those are the ones I worry about.

And I'm likewise too lazy to create a second user account, but
considering that RoboForm stores MY login data in MY documents folder,
I'm assuming it does indeed respect the aforementioned NT security
standards. I might feel differently if that data was stored in a
public or shared folder, but it's not (by default, anyway), and it can
be encrypted and/or protected by a master password.

I don't give a toot about them.

To be serious for a second, though. I heard a piece on NPR a couple of
days ago about how there are very few buglers left to play Taps at
military memorials, and the result is that they often play a canned
version. That makes me sad :-(

I may have found the reason they need canned music: my spell checker
doesn't recognize the word "buglers". Odd enough...

Thanks, I knew I could count on you.

I heard that, too, but I thought it was quite a few years ago. The
local VFW played Taps at my father's funeral in 1991 and, you guessed
it, it was canned.

I hope you added it.

Yes, I heard the earlier one too. Maybe they do the piece annually on
Memorial Day
