cach.waf
Hi Wamuggers I am trying to persuade somebody that Firefox is safer than IE as web browser. I hear this from others, but not sure why. However, I do notice that for any usage of IE (the last one available for MAC users), I always see a 10MB file cache.waf. I notice a slowing of performance as well. OS 10.4.11 and early same. With Firefox I never get anything of any size when I run 'iclean. What is cache.waf up to?

Re: cach.waf
Hi Bill, In very simple terms, the problem with IE is that it is too clever (same may used a different word) for its own good. It will let sites download things (active X's etc) onto your computer that provide a way for mischievous operators to get at you computer. Firefox, on the other hand does not have that ability, and so is a lot safer. There maybe better explanations and deeper reasons why Firefox is preferable - but simply put - nasty users cannot get at your system so easily. Cheers ...

Hi all I've selling my old but still excellent Sony 21' Trinitron Multiscan 500PS monitor, it's a CRT model from 1999 but still has an excellent picture and is in good condition. Below is an old Macuser review of the monitor: http://macuser.pcpro.co.uk/macuser/reviews/15678/sony-multiscan-500ps.html It can be pickup from the Quinns Rock area or on arrangement I can bring it into work at UWA if that is more convenient. Offers welcome.
