Does this exist?

[Debra Shapiro]

depends -- it you have a newer Mac, with system 9 or higher, there 
are some free iTools from Apple that I think could do what you want, 
but buying the newer Mac in order to use the free software would be 
more than just buying software, obviously!

see:
http://itools.mac.com/itoolsmain.html

I think the one called HomePage might do it.

Best,
deb.
