I understand, but IE isn't simply "showing (you) a new window"- the picture has been downloaded into an IE cache file- it's still retrievable and it still takes up disk space. You don't think it's there, but it is. Typical of Microsoft heavy- handed paternalism. > Safari automatically > downloads it to my desktop, You can choose where to d/l files from the 'net. It doesn't have to be the desktop.

They *can* be retrieved. > > When Safari incorporates these features, I'll love it! > What, the feature of leading the user into believing that the files aren't really on your HD? Well, maybe Safari isn't for you, then. dave -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
