Multiuserability
MindGuard X has been designed with a multiuser system in mind. Not only does it keep seperate preferences for each user in his or her home directory, but MindGuard X can also be run by multiple simultaneous users over a network. By taking advantage of the network cabling and/or wireless transmitter (and the horrible security holes in the X Windows system), MindGuard can open up anti-psychotronic conduits on the user's terminal even if he or she isn't physically near the computer on which MindGuard is actually running.

Tips:
- Don't watch TV while out of range of your computer. It acts as an amplifier for most psychotronic carriers. It's also a source of psyoptic and cerebrosonic dangers.
- Consider an Aluminum Foil Deflector Beanie [Internet link] for security in case of power-outage.
