Subject: Safari problem and fix

I got this message from another list I am a member of concerning a
serious
bug in Safari. Since there was a recent post on this list concerning
Safari,
I thought it might be of interest to some. If you are using or thinking
of
using Safari, be sure to get this update.
Peace,
Martha

It's Geoff who informed me of a possible bug of Safari which may cause
the total loss of your data.

The problem has been discussed on Apple's Discussion board.
<http://discussions.info.apple.com/WebX?128@66.a4e7aOPJfjs.4@.3bbdb9d6>

Quoted from the original message:

         I option clicked on a link in Safari to test a download.
         The download changed to the name of my home directory as it
         was downloading. It saved into my User folder. In the blink
         of an eye, it removed, destroyed, evaporated, my entire
         Home directory, including the desktop which disappeared
         along with days of work projects that were on it! Safari
         itself disappeared because it was on the desktop.

Message # 48 from the moderator:

         Safari Update 1-10-03 addresses the issue or issues being
         discussed in this and other forums. Apple recommends all
         Safari users download the update available at
         www.apple.com/safari/download/.

There is a version number when you check About Safari.  The 1-10-03 one
is v. 51, so if yours is earlier you should probably go to the apple
site and update.
