that they Information Desk can’t support or adequately explain to patrons. That’s
just me. However, I’m not saying it’s a bad idea at all. You might consider
explaining the concept, limitations, and operation of the software to your
primary computer monitors and see how they respond. I find them to be an
invaluable resource for gauging public opinion on these sorts of things.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>I've installed it on (quasi-)public computers for the
volunteer tax people (I forget the group's name at the moment) to use with
their USB devices. I've not installed it for general patron use, although I
don't see any problems at all with it being there. No <u>technical</u>
problems, that is, even on a locked down desktop. HOWEVER...The patron using it
need to be saavy enough to understand the ramifications of doing so. They need
to know that if they use it at the library, they have to be able to use it
every other place that they use their USB device too. You might also need to
provide a way for the patron to copy the install software to an unencrypted
portion of their USB device for later use. Beware suggesting that an un-saavy
patron install and use it, though! It'll probably come back to bite you when
they can't get to their data files somewhere else. LOL!<br>
<br>
I guess I'm ultimately of the opinion that it's a good idea. Those patrons that
know and understand it will use it. Those that don't, won't and with no harm
done.<br>
<br>
My 2 cents!<br>
