[QUOTE="Osiris22x, post: 33830, member: 3542"] Yeah, that was one of my questions too when I first got my Powerbook. I just set up my screen saver to require a password, as everybody has said, and then I put the mouse in the lower left corner and walk off. I'm pretty security conscious so this was the first thing I did. NOTE: Your Mac is not secure, until you install an open firmware password. With a system disc, anybody can override your master password and get full root access. Keep this in mind, and set an open firmware password ASAP. This is the equivelant to a BIOS password on a PC.
