There is even more on this topic in the archives if you search around  
a bit.  I personally don't buy the "public computer" argument, as  
you're open to a lot of problems (key loggers, etc) in that scenario,  
and you should at the very least clear cookies of the browser you used  
when you leave.

Cheers,
