I saw a site the other day that made me think immediately of some of the
previous conversations on this group.  I thought I would share that site
because I think it opens some very interesting doors.  This company
works in a very similar to the company I have been trying to get off the
ground now for nearly a year.  They are much more vertical and my model
is much more broad, but many, many similarities exist.

These guys are building systems for Internet Cafes and Public or School
Library computer labs.  This system is built on Linux, Open Office,
Firefox, Gimp, etc.  It has computer reservation system, ties into
library cards, pay per print, filtering by category of user, etc.  All
this done on a subscription model.  Given a number of discussions of
schools in this group, I though I would share this link:
