[OPLINTECH] Library PAC computer equipment

[Chad Neeper via OPLINTECH]

I've seen similar setups before using iPads as kiosks. It can definitely
make quite a nice kiosk setup. Out of curiosity, though and if you don't
mind answering, how much would you estimate you spent per unit in both
setup time and actual hardware/software dollars? (I haven't done anything
with iPads before, so have no reference.)
