[GRLUG] multiple login on Mac

[Roger Roelofs]

If you want to get technical, you can run X on the mac, but then it's
not very mac-ish.  When I'm forced to edit graphics at work ( which I
am horrible at BTW) I fire up XQuartz so I can run the gimp.  I've
also used XQuartz talking to a remote x server and that works fine.
