Yeah, I don't see why not.

Re: Two users from the same computer
There is a free program out my boss was showing me(I forget what it is called) It allows me(for example) to access your computer,take over your mouse,search and fix problems,transfer files etc.etc. or do whatever I want to do.Both parties have to agree as it uses a roaming password and can be shutdown by either user at anytime so people can sleep at night and not worry about the second party hacking into your puter.
Not sure if that is what you are looking for but an interesting piece of info.

Re: Two users from the same computer
Only one problem not all computers work well together,I tried to hook up my hewlett packard xp with my gateway vista useing a hub network,well the vista reconized the xp but the xp refused to reconize the vista so it depends on a compatability issue I did solve the problem but one of them (the old one) is not online I do all my video editing,CD burnning and cover designs on it and just transfer the data to a jumpdrive and to my vista, but gettting the two to work together could work and dose but it still depends on the compatibility

Re: Two users from the same computer
Howdy,
No problem setting up multiple users on a common PC. Assuming that you are operating on XP or Vista, go to control panel and open "User Accounts" follow the prompts and read the help files. The username that is primary (ie you) will automatically be assigned admin rights and you will have to enter a password (if your PC is not already password secured). Then you will enter the information for the new user and he will have to enter his own password. As administrator you have the power to allow or disallow access to files and programs which are stored on that PC. The down side is that updates, software and such can usually only be installed from the admin account (which means every time your bro wants to install a new map for WOW, he has to hunt you down to do so).
Have fun, Happy Christmas & Take Care; Doug

You will have to both go into your Chordie profile and in the Privacy part untick the 'Save Username and Password between visits'. It will mean that you will have to log in each time you use Chordie but it will save you posting messages in each other's name and prevent confusion.
