So I’m working on a as3 site that allows for users to signup/login, and I’m torn between using cookies vs SharedObjects to remember login info, I’ve been googling about it and I find a lot of people are super paranoid about LSOs, so maybe I should just go the regular cookie route?  
Or maybe there’s such a small percentage of people that actually have LSOs disabled that it’s not even a problem, does anyone have any experience with this?  
I’d prefer LSO’s just because they’re more powerful & slightly easier to integrate into Flash…
