Sleep (and Lock) Your Screen

When you are walking away from your computer, it's fairly common practice to start your screen saver and lock your screen. But did you know that there is a built-in keyboard shortcut in Mac OS X to sleep the screen?

Press Control-Shift-Eject and your monitor sleeps without engaging the screen saver.

PaperPort Update for Mac OS 8.5

by Geoff Duncan Send Email to Author

PaperPort Update for Mac OS 8.5 -- Visioneer has released a 2.1 MB update to its PaperPort software to resolve crashing problems using PaperPort 5.0 or higher under Mac OS 8.5. Little additional information is available in the update installer or from Visioneer's support pages, but Visioneer apparently recommends that all users of PaperPort 5.0 or higher install this update.
