    With a get string you are limited to 256 characters for the entire url including all the get parameters. If your url is just mysite.com?page=123 then its no problem. If you are editing a blog entry then it would be.

    If you use post then you can have as much data as you want.

    Remembering writing 8008 code in split octal (and assembling it on paper) is showing your age. Remembering Netscape 2.0 is just showing your experience.
