[X4U] Re: Stopping Web Browsing

[Milton van der Veen]

Thanks, Andy. Just what I was looking for. I'm downloading it right 
now. I couldn't find any reference to kid-safe or parental-controls for 
OS X. The consensus in the discussions I monitored seemed to be that it 
was only available on Windows.

In the meantime, I set the Calculator to be the "browser" in Safari and 
that also seems to prevent browsing.
