No, no, no. I respectfully beg to differ. For one thing, my old machine was a Lombard and there was an issue specifically related to Password Security (I may be getting the name wrong- I've been out of the Classic loop for tto long) CDEV where if you tried to reinstall it on 9.1 or later, it would break your machine. In order to prepare for the advent of OS X and its UNIX underpinnings, 9.1 eliminated this utility out of necessity and introduced "Multiple Users", among other things. Sure, your gf's Lombard can request a password under 9.2.2 as could my 800 iBook or any Mac running 9.1 or later, but it's not the same thing- that's simply an option within Multiple Users. dave -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
