Cosmopod is a Safari plug-in that downloads flash and other media files from web pages and converts them to iPod-compatible .m4p files...it's a VERY useful plug-in. <http://www.cocoamug.com> If you're getting that pop-up you must have, at some time, installed it; it displays a dialog asking if you want to update it when it's updated, and 'check for updates' is checked in the Cosmopod prefs. Find the installer (or download it again) and click on the Uninstall button. As I said, it's an excellent plug-in; it was a key bit letting me move to Safari entirely from Firefox. well worht the 17 or so it cost me at the time (It's priced in euros, I don't remember what the exchange rate was at the time) -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
