Security

It pays to be slightly paranoid about the security of your computer, particularly if you keep grades and tests on an unprotected hard drive. Passwords should not be words you can look up in a dictionary or something any moron could guess, such as "Password." I recommend a mixture of numerals and letters with the odd mixture of lower and upper case letters. To help you remember, you might consider doing a sort of license plate thing. For example: 8isenuf

Any computer running System 9 or later can be set up to protect your hard drive with a user id and password.
Just go to Control Panels, Multiple Users. More information is available in the library if you require assistance.
