What is in the plan now is to remove the navigation bar (not a problem, since I
added it back to the CD I made for the test). There is still a possibility
that someone could follow off-site links and get away from the approved site. I
only found one link that would let someone navigate off-site from the QualCheck
webapp and that ended up at the in.gov site. If we later have to add additional
websites we might then have to run a proxy and do some filtering. I also noted
some links to pdf application forms so we will need pdf support in the browser.
In addition Forest felt that printing support would be required.

I downloaded specification sheets for the LTE 430 (I think) and the docking
stations. If Kevin wants I can take some digital pictures of each of the
laptops, and some screenshots and send them to him with the spec sheets. Since
the sound chip is supported, I will also try to get sound going on them if I
have enough time.
