Yes: So what is needed from apple is true multiuser- multiple simultaneous logins. Of course we already have this in Darwin (you do it in a small way everytime you time sudo in front of a terminal command, and my MySQL user is logged in now, as is www, happily running apache for me.) But what is needed is Multiple Aqua logins. This I think is not on the cards. Still, for me, it is just a few seconds. And after all, we are getting the value of 2 comptuers from 1, so even a minute of swap time might be worth it. Just a pity you can't freeze the current open document list and log back into that set on login (there's another business opportunity for someone - capture the open files, store them in a startup app, and reopen them on login. tim -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
