Not anymore, as it should be. anyone can log in to the guest account but all 
content is erised when the person leaves said account. I use the guest account 
for testing purposes. i can't do much with it but it works for what I need and 
for anyone who wants to have a play with my mac. I don't have to worry about 
much as when they log out all thing swill be permanently erased.
