Where is mAdmin used?
* Schools - A Mac in school is about as natural as a bear in the woods. A Mac is a powerful tool, but children are active learners and by nature are very curious. This can mean damage or time-consuming troubleshooting if you do not watch children closely. Make your job easier and protect your investment with mAdmin. mAdmins non-intrusive nature gives students the freedom and complete power of the Mac without causing administrator headaches. Keep your Mac lab under control with mAdmin!
* College - As with schools, colleges with Macs on campus can get hundreds of uses out of mAdmin. Restrict access and control potential system damage by installing mAdmin on every Mac. Never break out that system software reinstallation disk again.
* Office - mAdmin makes for a kinder and more privacy-aware means of restricting office use of Macs. With mAdmin, you can control use without invading office privacy with intrusive monitoring software. You can even remove restrictions for lunch breaks automatically. Set up a schedule that everyone can live with and promote both productivity and privacy.
* Public/Library - Run a internet cafe or coffee shop? A public or private library? A line-up of Macs can be quite impressive, but with public access, you likely have constant system headaches... People moving files, getting into the System Folder, changing settings, deleting items, using services they shouldnt. Help ease your misery with mAdmin... Its non-intrusive and undemanding.
* Home - mAdmin is a great way to keep kids (or other family members) from using certain programs when you do not want them to. Its easy to schedule and easy to use. mAdmin will even help new users feel more relaxed knowing that its much harder for them to cause any system damage. Keep visitors and family friends from causing damage or losing/trashing files from your Mac. mAdmin has hundreds of uses for the home user.
* Dorm - Put mAdmin on your dorm Mac so that your roommate cannot easily turn your Mac into a crash-prone PC clone. Or install software you dont want. Or stay up all night using internet chat software. Or... We could go on and on.
* More... - There are tons of great uses for mAdmin, some we likely have not even thought of yet. Were sure you will find several different uses for mAdmin. If mAdmin helps you, wed love to hear about it. |
