Hi Dave,
Further to my earlier emails, the Centre for Alternative Technology (CAT -
http://www.cat.org.uk/ ) currently has slot-loading iMac G3s (avec souris
mais sans keyboard) in a public kiosk mode running MM Director. If you
still need advice, it might be worth giving them a call to pick their
brains.
Regards,
James

Your object is to save the world, while still leading a pleasant life.

pedantic, I might as well be too."
Geek 10: "You can't be a pedantic, because pedantic is an adjective. The
noun form is pedant."
