Oh yes, the much vaunted Mac ease of use. 2 examples from this past week: 1 - I wanted to change the short name of the root admin, so that all of my Macs had the same one. The consultant I used to deploy these used several different short (and long) names, bless them. I wanted to change it as I have an application that scans the network and creates an up-to-date hardware inventory, which it does effortlessly for my PCs.
*40* steps to do this. 40. If you don't make things worse doing it. 2 - I wanted people to lock their computers if they stepped away from their desk for more than a few minutes, for an added measure of network security, especially in low user density areas with lots of outsider foot traffic. We do have a good deal of sensitive data and it would suck if we were hacked this way. Windows+L on the PC does this in a fraction of a second. No such thing for a Mac; you pays your money and takes your chances. Yep, good 'ol Macs. Keeping me needlessly busy. > -----Original Message----- > I spend a lot of my time making PC users as productive as possible and > less of a burden on their Mac-using brethren. ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
