[LM_NET] SEC: Computer Mice Check-Out

[Marian Poyner <zambuto2002@YAHOO.CA>]

Way back in May 2004, Shonda Brisco posted a description of "Operation Computer 
Mice Check-Out" that she had implemented at her school.  It sounded like a great 
idea to me but my IT folks here didn't agree.  I'd like to try to bring it up 
again, but before I do I'd love to hear from all of you (especially Shonda) who 
are/have used this procedure.  Is it working????  How much extra work is it for 
you??  Is the plugging in and unplugging of the mice causing undo stress to the 
computers or to the mice???  Anything else that i should be aware of before I open 
my mouth here??  Thanks.
