I got this today:

I have been wondering: is it possible to streamline the login process by adding a remember me checkbox so that we do not have to re-log in every time we close the browser? It would be very nice to make a shortcut to the course, click on that and have the cookie log us in automatically like we can do with Yahoo Mail, and many other online services that one accesses frequently.....

To me this makes a whole lot more sense, especially since we are going to be accessing the AU website likely multiple times during the day for the next 1.5 years. Just like writing your own boarding pass from the internet (globalization 3.0) is more advanced than using the ticketless system on the internet and then doing your boarding info upon arrival (globalization 2.5, not 2.0 as stated by Friedman), making the system operate more smoothly and efficiently is a step up.
