<p class="MsoNormal">One thing to consider, assuming you can find a public or university library with Macs that the patron can go to: will the library allow software to be downloaded and installed on their computers? We’re a Windows library here, running Deep
Freeze to lock down the public computers. If a library system has Macs they might also have Deep Freeze or another reboot-to-restore software installed that doesn’t allow non-administrator accounts the capability of installing software.<o:p></o:p></p>

asked before. In the meantime, does anyone know if/where macs are available to the public?<o:p></o:p></p>
