I have a question. Is there a way to keep the addresses you go to from automatically listing when you type in the first letter. I hate that feature. Secondly, is there a way to save your favorites list from Safari?

I'm not aware of a way to turn off URL autocompleteion. The Safari Bookmarks file is in ~/Library/Safari where ~/ is your home directry. It is named Bookmarks.plist.

Yes, I wish there were a command for BACKING up Safari bookmarks - like IE has, saving it as an HTML file - quite handy.
One possibility is to SYNC it into an .mac acct if you have one. handier than hunting for plist. (reminder to self: re-learn enough Applescript to back up select plist files).

Being XML, I'm sure it would be very easy to convert the Safari Bookmarks file to a HTML file, in fact I might even write up a perl script to do it. Although I'm guessing someone has already done it, have a search around the forums and VersionTracker.

Safari 1.2 has the option to export its bookmarks to html in the Debug menu.

Could you not just 'lock' the plist? Maybe you could change permissions to it so that the system can't access and write to it. I saw something about it on OSXhints.com .....
