E-mail cafe' security
software |
|
|

Explorer that prevents users from changing the settings such
as the home page, the browser size, the E-mail settings,
etc.. It also locks users out of many windows features such
as the control panel, the system directories, and the

| Thin Client
Computing |
|
|
It is now possible to perform most computing
tasks on a thin
client computer. The fact that they save space and are
much easier to ship, set-up, and maintain makes them an
attractive option for such tasks as registration, E-mail
cafes', product locators, customer surveys, etc..
MTI is testing a solution that allows a handheld PDA to
use any PC or Web based software through a wireless
network.
