hey. when i was looking in power save properties or something, i saw "display sleep" (os x. i got os x). is ther a way to get my computer to display sleep on command without having to wait five minutes? also, is ther a way to lock my computer so that you gotta type in a admin password, but without logging out? thanks a bunch~~

1) No. Well, sort of. The brightness control. 2) The screen saver is the only way I know of to easily do this.

thanks but i have had my computer set with the screen saver with admin password lock thing, and if i just leave my comp with the screensaver on and i move the mouse when i want to use it again, all i see is the screensaver and the stupid little revolving cd cursor... but after a while (varies from 30 sec to 2 min), it'll show the window where i type in password, etc.
