style='font-size:12.0pt'>Please send any replies to the list. Answering
privately doesn't help anyone but the two parties involved!<br>
<br>
I've set up one of my libraries using thin-client OPAC stations. They are
tightly locked down so the only function available is the OPAC software. They
auto-logoff and shut down at night, and will eventually auto-boot in the
morning. The system works very well. I also experimented with a test TC station
more suitable to general public use, but found that it was generally shunned.
The TC doesn't handle streaming video particularly well (think dubbed foreign
film) and a large percentage of the library's public use is media-related.<br>
<br>
Although it's not necessarily best in every scenario, there is definitely an
advantage to using TC. I'll continue to develop the setup. I expect that with
time, the streaming issues eventually will be resolved in some fashion, perhaps
in protocol updates.<br>
<br>
My 2 cents.<br>
