They need access to email, web browser, word processing and spreadsheets, of course protected from viruses and malware.

The old way: get IT to set up PCs, or notebooks, maybe some dual logons etc…..

Wild idea: how about setting up a few Flash Drives so that the temp could hop from PC to PC, insert the USB drive and be in business.

Of course there are drawbacks like security, so small, so easy to misplace. But it is surely worth looking at.

Must Read:  Great PC Magazine Article.

For a bit more security: Sandisk 1GB Flash Drive with Biometric (Fingerprint) Secured Access.
