Hey folks -
I am a total noob when it comes to Macs. A few months ago, I bought a used iBook to use as my personal computer. It uses OSX and I've been learning my way around it. I've used it for surfing, Word docs, downloads, email, etc.
Here's my question:
I'd like to use it for my job, since all my bosses use Macs. My supervisor wants to take my iBook for a weekend and install some things necessary for my job, and since I'm a total novice with computers, it's a reasonable request. Problem is, he and I don't always get along so well, and mostly because he's the paranoid, back-stabbing type of employee. He's extremely proficient with Mac stuff, and I'm very conerned he'll spend a great deal of time snooping around for stuff to use against me in the future.
I don't have anything substantial to worry about, but like most, folks, I've downloaded some mpegs and browsed som websites I'd rather not have all my co-workers know about.
Everything's been cleared from my trash bin, and I only use Safari and have reset it. Can someone tell me how else to protect my privacy here?
Thanks!
