[OPLINTECH] Samsung Tab A OPACs

[Chad Neeper]

Since the Samsung tablets are Android devices, you might need to open up
your search parameters a bit and do some investigating. You might start
with the following search:
https://www.google.com/search?q=samsung+tablet&oq=samsung+tablet&aqs=chrome..69i57j0l5.4486j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#newwindow=1&q=deep+freeze+for+android+tablets

Unfortunately, you're not likely to find a nice tidy option such as a "Deep
Freeze" app for Android, but you probably do have some possibilities, with
a little bit of up-front effort. If you DO happen to find a "Deep Freeze"
app for Android, though, definitely post back about it! I'm sure there
could be quite a few people on this list that might be interested in it.

Good luck!
