It makes public computing easy and inexpensive for libraries.
What I think this is saying…
…is that for those libraries who are in transition and having to figure out YET ANOTHER WAY to do more with less, the Userful DiscoverStation product may be the answer. Replace single-user, thick-client workstations (each of which has to be managed) with one station connected to 10 monitors and keyboards. It might go a little far in the “hands off, no downloading” arena. But it does keep librarians doing professional things rather than monitoring internet usage. My $0.02.
