Go to http://www.versiontracker.com click the Mac OS X tab and search for Pseudo. Is that what you're talking about?

Hi,

I don't think "logging in beside" another user is a big deal.

However, it'd be nice to be able to launch an app as a different user.
Thus, while dad's surfing, Bobby can launch Mail as "bobby" and get his
email from his mac.com account.

All that would really require - I think - is the ability to open an app
as a different user, and all that requires is a prompt for the
username/password and the use of that user's userDefaults file.

This seems like it could be done. Perhaps even in a "virtual desktop"
thing like that Space open source thingy. Maybe two copies of Mail could be
running - one in each virtual "space."
