Yeah but you can't logon to a Mac.  You have to live with that users set up.
I don't have all the latest and greatest add on software for the Mac, so I
have to live with the last persons color settings.  We had someone who 
(thought they) owned the nearest Mac and insisted on having the display in
fuschia and indigo.  On a Next, your set up is saved.
