    CHRIS FLYNN  In a classroom setting, a program like this might be useful, as having students always saving their stuff to the hard drive, or downloading fonts on the mac is always a problem. With this, they could still download fonts etc. but would have to copy them to their flash drives so that the computer wouldn't become a mish-mash mystery meat of font stew... Yes? My school should maybe get this, especially if you can control with along with Apple Remote Desktop.  (Version 4.00.070.0218)

    KUPHD  Here's what Deep Freeze does: Every time your computer is rebooted, it reverts back to its original state (set when you set up the app). Everything done after that original setup gets deleted (settings, files, etc.).

    So, if you're a home user, you do NOT want this on your computer. If you're working in a lab, you do NOT want this on your computer.

    An example of when you DO want this is if you're in a library (or some other place where people walk in off the street to use computers). When they log out, the computer reboots and resets itself...deleting anything they've downloaded, installed or changed. It basically removes the problem of security (i.e., someone who leaves their resume file on the Desktop). No one who uses the computer after them will be able to see their personal information.

    In short, this app can be very handy, but in very limited situations.  (Version 3.20.071.0163)

    JAMESKITTY  got to love it when the product description is a marketing press release, instead of something that would indicate what the product is.  (Version 3.20.071.0163)
