Internet Browsers
What browser do I need to
best view your web site?
It is recommended to use
the latest version of the Internet browser to have the best efficient
results. You may download it free of charge.
What is "cookie"
technology and how does it affect my account?
BOOM servers use "cookie"
technology to ensure your account's confidentiality and security, to
make it easier for you to navigate through our site, and to enable you
to create customized information on our site based on input you provide,
including model portfolios and quote tracks.
A "cookie" is a temporary Security ID number assigned by BOOM to your
browser each time you Login (like a visitor's ID badge) that lets you
move from page to page within password-protected areas of our site, and
even leave the site and return, without having to Login each time you
click to view a new page. The "cookie" is valid for 30 minutes after you
Login, and will expire 30 minutes after you Login or immediately after
you Logout, or close your browser.
Please do not deactivate your browser's "cookie." The latest browsers,
including Netscape Navigator 4.0 and Microsoft's Internet Explorer 4.0,
give users the option of disabling the "cookie." Doing so means a
visitor's ID badge cannot be implanted on or read from your browser, and
you will not be able to move freely from page to page.
BOOM's use of "cookies" is intended to safeguard your account's
confidentiality and security, and to make site navigation and retrieval
of customized information easier, more efficient and more convenient.
BOOM will not implant or retrieve information from your browser for any
other purpose.

Computer Access
I can access you site from
my home computer but cannot get through at my office. Why is that?
The reason for the
difficulty you encounter in accessing our site at your office may be due
to different setting of your office computer or the firewall. You
company may have a firewall which can place restriction on the websites
to which you can access. You may request the system administrator at
your company to add www.boom.com to the list of available sites or to
open up the LAN firewall setting - Port 443.
Error Messages
Sometimes when I login, I
encounter a warning message that tells "another login session has been
started with this Member ID" What does the message mean?
This is a warning message
that someone is using your login or you forget to logout last time. You
are recommended to keep your Member ID, Login Password and Keycode
confidential and we encourage members to change password periodically to
protect your interest. You are also advised the logout every time you
finish to avoid disclosure to third parties.
