Our wings are not tired

I'm not the one that defaults to Mac, I do use and like them, but I also use and like quite a few PC's.

For laptops I'm partial to Lenovo and Toshiba.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Jilli, I'm pretty sure the iPhone can read PDFs natively. (I know I've clicked on PDF links in Safari and been able to read them w/o installing anything extra.)

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I am getting a new computer today at work. What should I do, other than clearing history and cache, to clear off this one?

I would save your bookmarks folder somewhere and email it to yourself, so you don't have to rebuild your bookmarks, then delete it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

sophia,

or you can install foxmarks which will sync new bookmarks to a new computer

do you have other files (besides the browser stuff) you want erased? I think there are software programs that can do a secure delete.

Not really, just the browser stuff. I am pretty sure they don't go over everything with a fine toothed comb, but I don't want it to jump out at them that HEY, this lady spends all day somewhere called Buffistas!
