Is it possible to share a computer so that different people can use BBO? They will not be playing at the same time!
Can they just register and then use the same icon on the desktop but just change the login and password?
Will the movies be all mixed up?
Thanks,
Peter

sure... we did that back when my wife played... she rarely plays any more... just change username/password, all preferences etc are saved on your harddrive

It is possible.

They use the same BBO client (icon) and just change the username and password each time they log on.

A separate directory is created on the computer for each account and the hands that you play are stored separately.

There are also separate chat log files etc.
