----------------------------Original message----------------------------
We have a lab running Novell with 18 Mac LC475's and use Foolproof by
SmartStuff software. It locks the hard drives really well, disables the
control panels and chooser, and prompts the users to save work on a floppy
or network volume.  Their number is (503) 231-4300.

>We currently have 12 Mac LCIII's and 13 Power Macs in one of our labs.
>In the past we have had some problems with students making changes
