- Apple has a very good product called Virtual User that lets
- you create customized or random sessions and play them back
- over a network to a lot of macs at the same time.
-
- It's good, and I haven't seen anything better on any other
- platform. I seem to remember the arrangements about it being
- very inexpensive too.

- Huh? Why would anyone NOT remember that? It's a fact of
- life and has always been.
-

- secure EITHER, and that's something people tend to forget.
