stealth surfing with a mac and pc
an article in pc mag today talks about privacy using a flash drive. is there something i could use for both my pc and mac similar to the following excerp--using firefox (non IE browser) or will any flash drive work.
Privacy to Go
The StealthSurfer's handy to take everywhere because it's tiny. Without a traditional--and unnecessary--plastic case, it's as thin as a dime, under 2 inches long, and three-quarters of an inch wide. I carried the gadget in my wallet throughout Alaska.
If you already have a flash drive, try the $30 P.I. Protector Mobility Suite from Imagine LAN. Unlike the StealthSurfer, the program uses the version of IE, Outlook, or Outlook Express that's already on the host PC. But P.I. Protector tricks the host computer into thinking the apps are on the flash drive--behind the scenes, the utility temporarily changes the location where these applications look for data and settings.
any suggestions?? what about a flash drive for both a pc and mac??? this way i can use any pc and not leave stuff behind
or could i just place firefox for mac and firefox for pc on the same flash drive then run the browser from the flash drive??

Whenever I go on a trip, that Knoppix cd is with me... I live in Korea so just about every pc here is an infested windows pc that barely works anyway. The cd basically loads a fresh linux install into ram and saves nothing on the disk.
