Hi, It is a security thing. If you had your iMac set to require a password after sleep or screen saver, or if your Mac was set to require a password after a certain time of inactivity, this would be announced but also require your password to unlock. This sort of setting is, for security reasons, the preferred configuration, but if you've not set your Mac to require the password, then the announcement still is made but a simple press of any key makes it ready to use.

After about 10 minutes of activity OS announces “Loged In As Dane Trethowan” I think the announcement is. If I press a key on the keyboard the message disappears but I can see it on the Braille display and I’ve tried pressing one of the cursor routing buttons somewhere on the message but that only causes the message to disappear too. Its probably not a serious problem but I’m curious to know just what’s causing it. I’ve tried making sure that the Mac machines don’t automatically lock or sleep and yet this message still keeps appearing. -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
