Rated 4 stars at ZDNet! Rated 4 cows at Tucows! Rated 5 Dudes (highest rating) by FileDudes! LockOut is a simple application to help keep people from using your Mac while youØre away. LockOut helps keep your Mac safe from co-workers while at the office, and from your kids while at home. Once LockOut is activated, all anyone will see on your Mac is the LockOut security screen: *A valid password must first be entered to access your Mac *Messages can be left by others *Create your own custom voice warning *Easily activated with a customizable hot key *Activate automatically after a pause time *Monitor security warnings from anywhere in the world via e-mail. *And more... Here's what people say about LockOut: *I'm a writer, tv mainly, and I drag my G3 lap-top around hotels and studios all over the country (UK). LockOut is a beautiful programme. Nice and simple, and simply keeps prying eyes off my scripts. -- Leslie S. *I really like the product. It saved me a lot of grief while I was on vacation and didn't want people "messing" in my files. One person here has the touch-of-death on computers and I wanted to make sure he didn't kill mine! I am recommending LockOut to others. Thanks again. -- Christine L. *I think that (LockOut) is great since living alone and an artist/businessman with a maid service that has access to my apartment room here affords the paranoia of wondering if anyone might be accessing info. or tampering with my PowerMac while I am away at work. -- Jerry B. Changes in version 2.1.3: *Removed the requirement for "Internet Config library" to be installed. Now if it's not installed, the iSupport menu is disabled. Previously LockOut did not start up if this library was not installed.

I have a G4 with OS 9.0.4 on it, and it has begun to reboot apparently automatically a few seconds after I have done a shutdown. I've look all around to find if there is a control panel setting that might be doing this, but I can't find anything. Can anyone give me a hint as to why this is happening and how to stop it? (What I do now is to shutdown and before it can restart I turn the power off, but I'd rather fix this properly.)

Isn't there some extension which makes the corners of the screen square instead of rounded on desktop Macs (OS 8.6)? What's it called and where can it be found? I've searched for "corner", "square", "round" and "screen" on both Info-Mac and versiontracker without success.
