[QUOTE="Command Alt Ego, post: 1190518, member: 158675"] Hi. I would first of all buy a used, cheap Amazon copy of David Pogue's Snow Leopard: The Missing Manual (as others have suggested). It's a great read and you'll learn an insane amount of stuff while laughing as you read. I would also set up different user accounts, and make sure to set it up in System Preferences that when your personal (administrator) account goes to sleep, you'll need to enter your password to wake it. Finally, echoing yet again the smart suggestions earlier here, you should stick your dicey pics in a folder which you will then lock -- by encrypting it as a disk image (sounds hard; but it's easy). Then, stick the disk image (which can't be accessed without a password anyway -- and dont store this password in your Mac's keychain!) in a hidden nook on your HD. You'd need a **** genius 7 yr old to access your scandalous tattoo archive after all that. And yes, based only on what I've read in various threads, I'd be wary of FireVault. [/QUOTE]
