Hold on, I don't agree with that. Taking control away from the user is wrong except in situation where it's right, in which case you typically want something like a kiosk. The way you've phrased it seems like you're claiming that kiosk mode is wrong on its face. Granted, for many kiosk applications, a full-blown Mac OS X install might be unnecessary. For example, I have an application in the works that requires an external control interface. The interface is intended to be single-purpose, for completely non-technical users (think the control interface on a medical device, or on a music keyboard, or plenty of other similar scenarios). In my mind, I have a choice: either make the control interface a standard OS X app, allowing users the full functionality of the computer, or make a kiosk app that runs on some stripped-down Linux distribution in single-user mode. I still haven't determined which I'll do. --Kyle Sluder _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
