[OPLINTECH] Phoenix not rising

[Adam Murphy]

If it is educational or job related then I will run the browser in admin 
mode or type in the admin password to allow the program/addon/plugin to 
be installed. I won't give the admin password to staff so if a patron 
runs in to this problem they will have to wait or come back when I'm 
working.

But I always say no to anything else that needs to be installed with an 
admin account.
