If her seeing those bookmarks will get you in trouble, yes you are. This is reason number one why every mac you ever get should be wiped and re-installed at the outset, unless it's brand new. This is still 'her' laptop so far as everything on it thinks, so of course it'll synch stuff. Go into iSync and uncheck synch this device. -- Bruce Johnson "Wherever you go, there you are" B.
