Everybody wants a piece. (Of your MacBook, that is.)
Perhaps you live in a busy household with kids, significant others, grandparents, and a wide selection of friends, all of them clamoring for a chance to spend time on the internet, take care of homework, or enjoy a good game.
On the other hand, your MacBook might occupy a classroom or a break room at your office — someplace public, yet everyone wants their own Private Idaho on the MacBook, complete with a reserved spot on the internal drive and their own hand-picked attractive Desktop background.
Before you throw your hands up in the air in defeat, read this chapter and take heart! Here, you find all the step-by-step procedures, explanations, and tips to help you build a safe multiuser MacBook that’s accessible to all.
(Oh, and you still get to use it, too. That’s not being selfish.)
