Hey Putta, downloaded all of the software you posted here. Amazing applications, including Little Sntich. Thank you so much. I have a secured connection now for outgoing activity, something that Mac's intergrated firewall lacks. =) Mac OSX is still STRONG regardless. I installed additional security for my own protection. =)
