Instead of
"Session also store ID on the harddrive"
a more correct wat to put is is
"Sessions store ONLY an ID on the [user's] harddrive".
All other information you store in the session is placed in the
webserver. The user has no direct access to it. This is how it differs
from using just cookies (where all of the info is stored in the user's
harddisk)
