Steve's example was clearly the machine(s) that he tried it on...'moderm
Macs' But I can confirm that on my G4 400 with 10.4.8 onboard it performs
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,

I don't remember mentioning switching users!

My G4 is open slather for whoever need to use it!

And Steve did say...

"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;)"-Steve Carroll

.... A person logging back in to that account...."


Sorry for any confusion!

Before that, though, Steve had stated:

Do you have any thoughts on the fact that, at least in the case I
described, a non-Admin user can alter settings for other users?

As can they alter settings on a Mac. Big f*cking deal.

Where is the inconsistency?

As I said previously Settings stick on XP just as they do on OS X?.....WOW!

And:

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... but I
guess you'll say it's OK due to the 'consistency'. LOL!

Still no inconsistency! there is nothing to indicate that he is not talking
about the same account, merely different users!

".... A person logging back in to that account....""-Steve Carroll

Note how he claims it stays "that way" (inversed) when he logs out...

Yes! because it does! and it will still be that way when someone logs in!
why are you so surprised?

but you are right...

I know!

he did post a *different* account of his claim where he
merely noted... *gasp!*... that user settings do not magically change, even
if you log out and back in.

No he didn¹t! he has remained consistent!

Thanks for helping to point out yet another example of Steve and his
ever-changing claims. Let me guess: you will do *anything* you can to
defend your co-troll buddy Steve... does not matter how pathetic your lie
has to be, you will not admit that Steve's story clearly changed.

Because it didn¹t!

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.
