Good evening! Back from my walk. Had a nice one, then got in the car and popped over to B&N. Nice...

Actually, the machines we let the Comp Sci 101 types use are locked down so hard, it's not funny. They can't do too much bad because we don't let 'em do anything. And the machines have nothing but Office on, really, so the worst-case scenario is scorch the machine and reinstall.

Yeah, but Ghost makes that even easier: you get the machine configured like you want it, then use Ghost to create an image of the hard drive. Once you have the image you can load it to any similar system. It lets you stamp out identically configured systems in just a couple of minutes... it even has a broadcast feature so you can load as many systems as you want with the same image over the network, all in parallel. Very cool and very fast.
