does anybody know how to set Safari in 10.5.2 to have permanent Private
Browsing option set? Just all the time, when I launch the program?
Thanks a lot,

10.3.9 on a Dual MDD 1.0. 10.5 seemed ok. 10.5.1 was slower that frozen

Alan Baker, low level bench tech and mac repair boy is stalking me to the
point I feel for my safety.  My grandparents have been getting crank calls

My Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000 arrived and I have it up and running on
my Mac G5 under 10.4.11. I discovered that iGlasses works with it in
