It's been about a year and a half since I decided to get rid of Chrome from
both staff and public computers here. I reached that point after seeing
just how much network traffic was generated due to updates and who knows
what, and also finding out that Chrome was saving every single installation

Is there anyone else out there besides me who refuses to have Chrome
installed on library computers? All it took was for me to see the majority
of the network bandwidth pie chart heading to google.com, not to mention
the scheduled tasks that no doubt contribute to that.

I second what Cary said. I've seen many, many intrusion attempts coming

I give Amara a big thumbs up. I've only used them once, but found their
work to be top-notch, their price to be lower than expected and they were
absolutely fantastic to work with, and that was with many multi-language

arises.
I don't have technology to offer for that purpose, but if you decide to go

of excellent quality and fantastic customer service. I used them to not

It saddens me that something so obviously intrinsic to this organization is
