h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Dear Slacker,
I have recently registered as a researcher for your wondrous web site on a computer that I share with someone else.
I was wondering if it is possible to have more than two people with different e-mail addresses as researchers using the same
computer. I ask you this because only two days ago the other person I share the computer with registered with you under his e-mail
address and he is yet to recieve a reply via e-mail of his registry details. I would be very grateful if you could give me some insight into
what is going on or what we need to do. Cheers very much!

It is possible to use two different email addresses. If your friend didn't receive an email after more than an hour either it was mistyped (which happens more often than you'd think) or we had a problem with our mail server. Either way, they only need to re-register with the same email address and we'll send out the email again, giving their registration key.

Then, to 'swap identities' simply use whichever registration key you want and you will become that person. You can do this as many times as you want.

And Real Soon Now™ we will be putting in password access for people who need to share computers.
