Just curious how you close the window with the keyboard and mouse disabled? Maybe I’m missing something.

@Narshada – Toddler Traps limits the mouse and keyboard to Toddler Trap app. It doesn’t actually blocks it. You can type anything in Toddler Trap interface and even close the app.

surely you mean when you DONT want your co-worker, etc messing with your computer?

To be true, ya I meant that same. However, I have a better idea – always lock your computer to avoid your co-workers messing with your computer.

Anyone know of an equivalent piece of software on OS X?

@simoncolijn It (http://tinyurl.com/da48za) doesn’t actually blocks your mouse and keyboard, but it limits it to Toddler Trap.
