- speculation?
-
- "At Ease" is a limited System front-end. It's code name was "Mickey Mouse".
- Made especially for the education market, "At Ease" doesn't allow access to
- the Chooser or Control Panels. It is a customizable huge file folder icon with
- "square" icons which can indicate individual programs the kids can run.
-
- The spec sheet has programs on it like "Kid's Notes", "Kid's Pix" etc. etc.
-
- Teachers were getting tired of seeing the flashing question mark in the disk
- icon. This allows them to prevent that from happening.
-
- A commercial product in this same vane is called "Easy Share Mac".
