Turning screen on/off with keyboard?
On my previous laptop, a Toshiba, I could turn my screen on and off quickly by pushing CTRL-1. I miss being able to do this quickly. Is there a way I can do this on my PowerBook, without having to close the screen?
The reasons for my need for this is that I work in a pharmacy and patient confidentiality is always a concern. I'd like to be able to leave my office and not have to worry about someone walking in and seeing what is on my screen.

Do this instead. (Do you have Mac OS X 10.3?)
1. System Preferences > Accounts > Click "Login Options"
2. Check the option "Enable Fast User Switching"
3. In the upper right hand corner of the menubar you will now see a menu item with your login name. Whenever you walk away click the menu and select "Login Window..." It returns you to the main login screen. Now nobody can see it without your password. And it's fast, it's not like logging in and out.
Or you can set the screen saver to come on when you move the mouse to one of the screen corners (enable password protection)
