I recently saw a reference on Macintouch about a new utility that may 
be very useful to people responsible for labs. It's called Deep Freeze. 
Basically, it  protects any computer (there's both a Mac and PC 
version) from any kind of tampering or changes. Anything a user does 
can be made temporary, including software installation, downloads, or 
adding/deleting/renaming files and folders. The machine is completely 
restored to its original configuration either at login, after a 
restart, or after a selected time interval. I guess there's been a 
version out for a few years for Windows, and now there is a Mac 
version.

Does anyone here use it or something like it? It sounds pretty cool.
