BWEINSTE  I'm an owner of the product. It's from a great developer (TimeSlice developer). Unfortunately, due to an Apple bug, this software will consistently clear your Expose settings (as of OS X 10.4.10). I reported this to the developer who investigated and determined this to be the case.

He's reported the bug to Apple. It is a known issue within the implementation of their API supporting Kiosk applications.

So for now I wouldn't purchase this software.  (Version 5.2.3)

ANONYMOUS  Why should I spend $15 on a piece of software which does exactly the same as me using one of OSX's FREE screensavers which, when deactivated, asks for a password? This can easily be set up in the security system prefs.

Oh i forgot... co-workers can post phone messages while I'm aƒk.

TEX  Excellent program for those with roommates and/or co-workers. However, it should not be used as a startup-lock since another Startup Lock offers a much easier interface and it's freeware. However, as a standalone app at work, this program is perfect! No conlficts that I am aware of, and the log is great! Well, that's all...:) Good work for such money!   (Version )
