So i am sitting in my lecture right now and when i went to save my text file i see a sharing menu on the side. i see it has access to other computers around me. How do i take this off. I never noticed this with my PB using tiger.

This is new in Leopard. It shows you the computers that are on the same network as you. You should at least be aware that as long as you don't have your network settings changed to allow other computers to access files through sharing, these people can't connect to your computer.

If you just don't like them there for cosmetic reasons, go to Finder preferences and turn off time items in the Sidebar prefs.

Thanks for the quick reply.
