Hi folks,

The school where I teach is biting the bullet and buying 5 iMacs for DV
editing.

There are over 200 Windows-based computers on the school's network, and
this is first time that I have been successful in convincing someone
with a chequebook to buy Macintoshes.

It is very important that the introduction of 5 iMacs to our school
environment happen smoothly. I'm sure that iMovie and built-in FireWire
will delight all.

What I'm concerned about is high school students having so much access
to the System Folder and such that these five computers might not be
running smoothly for very long.

What do you suggest to eliminate the threat of users changing settings
and stuff on our new iMacs? Keep a burned copy of trustworthy System
Folder handy at all times?

Is there software to restrict users access? I've never explored this as
I've never needed such a beast on my Macs at home.

Can someone suggest some resources that discuss this type of situation?

Post here or e-mail me directly.

Sean
