Randy, Thanks. Went and downloaded suggested application and it has problems. Will not do anything on my G4 PPC mac running 10.5.8. The site has a list of comments and I read that others noted the same thing But, as for flash cookies, if that is just another name for a "beacon" i am covered as I am using Safari Cookies (http://sweetpproductions.com/safaricookies/ ) to manage all cookies. Before I found that app, I was manually deleting flash cookies every week soooooo............. Thanks for your help Lee Begin forwarded message: Message: 4 Date: Mon, 2 Aug 2010 15:19:30 -0700 From: "Randy B.
