[OPLINTECH] Circulating iPads?

[James Guilford]

I believe I answered my own question... just so simple!

Enable the built-in Restrictions under "Settings" on the Apple iPad. 
Using Restrictions will let a parent or owner limit browser use, access 
to iTunes, explicit songs/videos/apps, prevent app installation, etc.
