If it doesn't destabilise my computer and works seamlessly I'm all for it. What I've done now is to use the AppleScript code I posted earlier this week. I've got it sitting on my desktop so I open it whenever I want to put the machine to sleep and secure it. PS I'm going to search out more of those screen saver weaknesses (I'll report back to the list when/if I find reports of any serious ones (so far I haven't found anything which leaves my computer weak... just the dock/F-key one)... I don't like not knowing what my vulnerabilities are). Eric. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
