If you have Fast User Switching enabled under Accounts, then you can just begin typing 'fast' which will bring up fast logout. I actually didn't start using fast logout until i saw Stu use it and I was wowed by the spinning cube behavior of it. Its pretty :PJorgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07911348775301028493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4779324010076792744.post-75296045013987997382007-07-25T02:31:00.000-07:002007-07-25T02:31:00.000-07:00If you have 'password on wake' set, you can use Co...If you have 'password on wake' set, you can use Command-Alt-Eject to put the Mac to sleep.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03154961940498798664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4779324010076792744.post-33616144772108044852007-07-24T16:32:00.000-07:002007-07-24T16:32:00.000-07:00You can also open Keychain Access and go to 'Prefe...You can also open Keychain Access and go to 'Preferences' and select show status in menu bar.

Our company makes sure people stick to it with a tradition called 'donutting'. If anyway goes away from their computer and leaves it unlocked, everyone's within their rights to send an email from that person promising to buy donuts for the recipients. Keeps people cautious about their computers, and guarantees a regular supply to treats for the office. :)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16173298429378180099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4779324010076792744.post-4632566950615086302007-07-09T19:01:00.000-07:002007-07-09T19:01:00.000-07:00Excellent tip.
