If the buyer isn't Mac-savvy, walk him/her through creating a new account (and changing the admin password). Panther & Tiger especially make it easy to work normally with non-admin accounts -- use Fast User Switching to cut over to the admin account for installing software & doing system maintenance, and work in the normal user account otherwise.</DIV><BR><DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><FONT face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">--</FONT></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><FONT face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">Larry Kollar<SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"> </SPAN>k<SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"> </SPAN>o<SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"> </SPAN>l<SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"> </SPAN>l<SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"> </SPAN>a<SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"> </SPAN>r<SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"> </SPAN>@<SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"> </SPAN>a<SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"> </SPAN>l<SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"> </SPAN>l<SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"> </SPAN>t<SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"> </SPAN>e<SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"> </SPAN>l<SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"> </SPAN>.<SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"> </SPAN>n<SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"> </SPAN>e<SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"> </SPAN>t</FONT></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><FONT face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">"The hardest part of all this is the part that requires thinking."</FONT></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><FONT face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">-- Paul Tyson, on xml-doc<SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"> </SPAN></FONT></DIV> </DIV><BR></BODY></HTML>
