To quote Steve from an earlier message in this thread:

"I can, from a user account, hold down the control, option and Apple keys on
a modern Mac while pressing the number 8 and it will "screw with" others (who
may want to run graphics apps or whatever)... and it'll stay that way when I
log out. There is no video card in this equation..."

Assuming that does in fact stay in effect when a normal user logs off, that's
the same "problem" you're talking about with display drivers on Windows.

Well, it's not the exact same problem but it does contain the ability to
"screw with" a user even after logging out. A person logging back in to that
account couldn't really use an app like Photoshop or Painter with the screen
whacked out like this. I once did this to my wife and she thought the video
circuitry was crapping out;)

My prediction... Snit will change the criteria from his OP:

"Here is the weakness: I can change the orientation from my user account, even
a non-Admin, and the orientation will stay altered even when I log out... " -
Snit

Watch for the conditions regarding 'accounts' that will undoubtedly appear
that stray from this 1st post;)

Wow, Steve, how poorly your predictions are. Please note that when I
predict, for example, that you will spew quotes from me taken out of context
*and quotes not from me* and attribute them to in your every post I can
state this with certainty... you are that easy to predict.

As far as you predicting that I would change my conditions, well, read my
response from a previous post:

I missed where Steve said that, but assuming he was correct
you would be right... it would be a similar problem. On G3s
running 10.3 and on my G4 running 10.4, however, what he
says is clearly *not* the case. I wonder if he can give an
example of a case where it is true. Knowing Steve: I bet
not!

Hey, I even made a prediction about you there... I bet it is accurate - you
will not be able to give an example where this actually happens (and, no, a
story you could easily make up about a woman you are not married to who you
have claimed you call your "wife" does not count - especially after you spew
lies and say I have emailed her though she might not exist!... I want
something that is verifiable)
