Tiger only hintI was reading through the User's Guide for my new iMac G5 (iSight), and noticed that the addition of the Front Row remote has added a new way to put the machine to sleep.

If you press and hold the Play/Pause button on the remote for three seconds, the computer will go to sleep. Combine this with requiring a password to wake up the computer, and you've got a potentially useful means of securing your system if you notice someone is starting to explore areas of your system you'd rather they didn't.
