We are using the Deep Freeze demo (along with Winselect's Ikiosk and Policy) 
and I see no new problems, just the same old NN 4.08 bugs. We may add access 
to IE again to see if it can decrease crashes. Has Microsoft put a print 
preview into its browser? We encourage patrons to print preview and select 
pages to pare down on paper use; I also added Notepad to the desktop for 
patrons to use for pages that don't seem to print out correctly or those who 
just wish to surf and print all in one document formatted to their liking.
