Computer Security: SIGN OFF THE COMPUTER WHEN YOU ARE DONE WITH IT!
Daily, I will see where 3 or more people are logged into the same computer. And/or the same individuals are logged into several computers. When you're logged in you are taking up computer and network resources. This will slow down the network. This also creates a security problem, you're basically an unlocked window. Please, when you're finished, click the button to "sign off" Thanks.
