How would I tell if I was?

Unfortunately I took out a 3 year lease, so I'm pretty much stuck with this 
system spec - plus my client, understandably, doesn't want to pile yet more 
money into a new server when he isn't seeing much return from the existing 
one!

So is anybody going to tell me how to make a static version of my site, or 
not?  If not, I shall have to bodge something up myself :-P

I can probably manage something with wget, but I'm not sure what will happen 
to the session ID.  For instance, if a user adds an item to the basket, and 
then browses around for another, what would happen?  Would their session ID 
(and basket) be lost?

TIA,

Jon
