If you have enough machines to use one as a prototype station, then you 
may consider trying a slimmed down install of Debian + KDE(in kiosk mode) 
or Fluxbox (plus icons).  From experience, it's much easier to manage . 
and maintain than Win98, which I used to have on a home machine.

You'll still be able to run OOo on them, plus you'll get a few other 
utilities.  Performance may improve, too.

One of your regulars or a friend of theirs might be able to work out the 
details if you need a hand.  That's how a friend of mine got all her 
public library terminals over to linux, which has run well there since 
1999.  The linux skills her regular learned while helping her eventually 
got him a full time job.
