The computers at the Houston libraries don't allow access to the USB ports from what I have seen, and in order to get access to anything besides a Web browser you would probably need to reboot the machine and you then have maybe 15-20 minutes before a librarian notices you. Now, the Harris County libraries might be different; I have not gone to one. -- Shawn K. Quinn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
