i have purchased a second computer to use when not at the office – had Log me in installed so i can access my mac from away. Problem is – if i log off my mac or put to sleep, i am not able to access via logmein. The only way to do this is to leave the computer on which I obviously don’t want to do when I am away from the office.
Any suggestions.

I have a 13″ Macbook Pro. Its amazing that we have to resort to these tricks to lock the screen of after this many years of OSX. Something other OSes do out of the box. I guess Steve Jobs reckon Mac security is so unimportant that you don’t even need to lock the screen!

Sheer blatant stupidity.

i’m a new mac user, i have the 13″ unibody macbook.

my personal trick for user switching is great, useful, and not too hard to set up.

i have butler installed on my mac. for those of you who don’t know, it lets you set hot corners and keyboard shortcuts for anything you want.

control+option+L on my mac, user switching. works great.

control+option+up and control+option+down adjust my iTunes volume and tell me what’s currently playing.

just to add humor, control+option+delete launches parallels. if you can’t tell, i’ve been trapped in windows for a little while.
