You can screw the terminals down to the desk but anything removable will
walk occasionally. Couldn't you arrange to have files saved to a central
location, then collected by the client? You wouldn't need to include
floppies at all that way and people will be less likely to spend their quiet
moments downloading rhino porn.
A nice big notice pointing out that the terminals aren't PCs and won't work
at home would help as well.

Hi all,
We're migrating from PC's to Wyse thin-clients (ya, I know Jim...) with
USB floppy drives attached in our public libraries. Many of these are
unmonitored and away from reference and circulation staff. Of course,
being a PUBLIC library, means that we get some shady characters (and
light fingered - can't even keep DVD's out on the floor anymore) in
there. So, has anybody had luck making these theft proof or at least
enough of a deterrent that they won't try? I'm worried about the
thin-client and the USB floppy most (only had 1 incedence of mouse-ball
stealing).
Thanks! -George
