What is different about the new kiosk environment?
The old Kiosks used (and the LCs still use) the Kiosk Mode of the Launch Pad application. This environment eliminated menu bars from applications, quit the Finder, and included time limits on Comet sessions so that after a set amount of time all Comet sessions except the Library Catalog would be closed and the Launch Pad window would be brought to the foreground. The WWW Kiosks (all the PowerPC Macs) use a more open environment where the menu bars are active and their options available. The user also has access to the Finder and all of its function. The Comet session automatic timeouts are still there, but there are no automatic timeouts for Netscape sessions so if someone opens a Netscape session and leaves the kiosk the next user will find exactly what the previous one left.
