Reader Keith Welton writes, "Your recent editorial about ShadowSurfer sounds similar to a program that we deploy in the school district that I work in. We use a program called Deep Freeze. As an IT department it allows us to configure a PC exactly how we want it, then we "Freeze" it. Any user can do whatever they want to the machine, load software, open viruses, etc., but as soon as you the reboot the pc it returns exactly to the way we initially configured it. This program is especially great for Win 98 machines – we have hundreds! I’m not sure if this will be helpful for anyone else, but it works for us. As always, keep up the good work! Your newsletter is the greatest!" Thanks for that Keith. The way I read it, Deep Freeze sounds more like restoring from a drive image than ShadowSurfer but it looks like a great tool for tech support. Pricing starts from $29.95 per PC but drops substantially for volume purchases.
