i have a similar issue: we're two users on a 24" imac. switching back  
and forth quite often and entering a (complicated) password is a hassle.

i was thinking of doing the following: keep the current two users,  
remove the passwords, but also removing administrative privileges,  
then create a third user with adminstrative rights for installing  
software, etc. this user would not be logged in, only when needed.

i don't like the idea of a admin user with no password (remote login  
issues, etc). am i over-reacting?
