Then you can set the browser's cache sizes to zero with minimal problems. This also helps limit the amount of cache disk space needed if you have more than one user; no longer will each person cache their own set of Slashdot graphics. And obviously this would also help with all the cache exploit problems that have crept up from time to time with both Navigator and MSIE. Users already behind proxy servers (e.g. at work) might see only a slight performance hit for going "cacheless" though the proxy logs may show more activity from your workstation. That would be a "job security" issue then... -Peter Squid can be got from http://squid.nlanr.net/Squid/
