[Web4lib] Thin Client Opinions

[Thomas Edelblute]

If you are looking for a thin client that just uses a web browser, I would go for something with Windows XP Embeded like the HP t5720.  I do not like Windows CE because it does not run java apps well enough to some of our databases like the library catalog and Mitchell's Auto-Repair.  It works well with the Roaming Profiles and Group Policies from an AD server.

Subject: [Web4lib] Thin Client Opinions



My manager is looking for opinions from organizations that are either moving
toward or away from thin clients.  We are specifically looking at using them
for our public patron computers.  We've completed an evaluation for our
district but would like to know what other libraries are doing.  If you
wouldn't mind discussing this subject with her, send me an email and I'll
forward it.


Thanks,
