[Imc-tech] mac attack

[Paul Riismandel]

OK fine with me.  With OS 9 we can lock things down pretty well -- it would 
take a real hacker sitting in front of it to bust security. The desk 
already has a machine that finance would prefer keep where it is, so is 
there a suggestion for another location?  Again, with OS9 it can be locked 
down so that only people with projects can use it.

We have a bunch of color printers already, so we need to just determine 
which is best and slap it on--no need to buy a new one yet.
