They use a JavaScript plug-in
Below is most of the code. I'm no expert on JavaScript and know very little,
but below the email, first name, last name commands is the rest of the code
that finds the info about your system. So the question is why have,
email.value, first_name.value and last_name.value in there if they are not
collecting this information? As to your question about cookies and temp
files, the answer is no. Once you run this JavaScript plug-in, they have all
they need.

That's interesting SG. Can you explain what those mean? Am I eliminating
their traces when I eliminate cookies and temp. files? Thanks.

If they don't collect private info, then I wonder why this is in their

I found a great download from System Requirements Lab that is my upgrade
guide now for my eMachines T5234 with Vista Premium. It rates all of
your
hardware and drivers for how they will perform on Vista, with cool tabs
for
Minimum, Recommended and Optimal requirements. I learned after a ram
upgrade
that the weak spot is my graphics card, and which ones to consider. I
also
learned more about my computer than any of the Windows diagnostic tools
I
have been using daily. This is what you got and what you need in a
clear
presentation.
