If you boot off a specially created CD your computer will be impregnable, although I'm not sure about reboots if someone forces a quit with [Cmd][Control][Power]. If the hard disk has no active system it may go to the CD drive by default without [C] being held down at startup. Alternatively you could use iCab instead of Explorer. It has a kiosk mode for just this situation. <http://www.icab.de> ~Ian O -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
