NetShred X 3.17
Vancouver, Canada, July 6, 2006 -- Mireth Technology Corp. has released
version 3.17 of NetShred X, its easy to use internet track eraser that
erases internet tracks, such as cache, history and email trash. NetShred X
runs on Mac OS X. Version 3.17 adds support for the latest versions of
several browsers, and cookie shredding.
NetShred X is the easy-to-use internet track eraser software for Mac OS X
that erases files web browsers and email programs leave behind. It's
internet privacy software that is designed to be easy to use, fast and
cleaner. Because internet privacy software can't be effective if it's not

time, NetShred X was designed to run in the background, so using the
software doesn't interfere with the user's web browsing. Most importantly,
NetShred X is an effective method of permanently deleting internet tracks.

Westciv releases Style Master 4.5
Westciv releases Style Master 4.5 for Mac OS X and Windows
Bondi Beach Australia July 6 2006
http://westciv.com/style_master/index.html
When CSS Editor Style Master was first released in 1998, Cascading Style
Sheets were barely a blip on the web development radar. There was no such
thing as a standards based browser, table based designs and the "font tag"
were state of the art in web development, while accessibility was something
barely heard of.
Eight years on, CSS has been embraced by the masses, with even "hobbyist"
web developers whipping up style sheets for their blogs and wedding
websites, while the biggest sites in business and government have also
embraced CSS as the way to style the web. All the while, Style Master, the
longest standing, leading cross platform CSS editor has stayed the course
with developers, and with CSS.
Now westciv announces the release of Style Master 4.5, the CSS editing tool
for professionals, students and dabblers alike.
