Ask HN: Do you have separate users for work and personal stuff on your Mac?

1 pointsby mewwtsalmost 11 years ago
Just received a new Mac from my workplace, and I was wondering if it was a good idea to have a user for work/development, and another one for games and other stuff. Any thoughts?

I had that idea for a while, but I just keep separate spaces (or whatever OS X's multiple desktops are called now). In the end, I didn't find that there would be any conflicting accounts, etc. so I didn't find a need for it. I do usually use separate browsers though, to keep tabs and history separate for work/personal life.

I do - the remote access I have requires running flaky Java apps in untrusted mode and that's not something I want to let loose in my personal stuff.

I would advise against using a computer provided by your employer for personal activities or storage.
