    If i open a file does it cache that file into a temporary folder?

    If i visit the internet does it cache the files from the webpage i visit?

    Does it store where i visit?

    If so are they programs free for Mac to counter this big brother stuff?

    Thanks in advance !!

    that was the stupidest responce ive ever seen to be honist..



    Straight up:

    Yes, it does create temporary files the same as a windows PC, and there are programs to remove these temp files e.t.c but i cant think of the name at the moment

    probably not that much use but hope that helped.

    The only thing where I wish OS X would behave like windows, is the ability to "cut and paste" files. :rolleyes:
