Steve's example was clearly the machine(s) that he tried it on...'moderm

exactly as Steve said it would...control-option-command-8 the screen
reverts, shut the computer down or log out whatever you want to do, restart
or log back in and the screen is still as it was as a result of the keys
pressed!

It doesn't work for me. That is, the keyboard shortcut works just fine
of course, but if I switch user, the setting does not follow. If I set
my admin, or non-admins screen to be zoomed in and reversed (call it
mode X), and switch to another account, the screen will revert back to
normal (mode A). If I change things in that account as well (mode Y),
the screen will switch to mode X when "fast user" swithing to the
first user and go to mode A when I go to the login screen.
