Jeff Yes, it's simple...you each have to have your own email, paypal, amazon, etc etc accounts, and your own login on the computer, so that her email account info isn't stored in your keychain and vice-versa. She'll have to log in as her to read her email, where all purchases on her Amazon account go, and vice versa. Only one of you can use it at a time, anyway, and so long as you're using 10.4 (maybe 10.3, I forget when fast user switching was introduced) switching between the two is fast and easy. This is the basic function and rationale for having a multi-user operating system. If you insist on using one computer login, then make sure you don't save your email logins in the keychain. This gets tricky when you have shared media resources (one iTunes and iPhoto library, for example) but those can be set so tht you can access them from each account. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
