Public Internet Access Terminals (PCs)

Since its inception in 1997 one of the principal objectives of NSW.net has been the supply and distribution of Public Internet Access Terminals (PCs).

Seven hundred PCs were purchased and distributed to metropolitan and country public libraries throughout NSW during 2001 - 2002.

Some of the features of these PCs included:

Access to the fonts of the top 30 languages used in NSW
Inclusion of disability access software known as Zoomtext and peripherals such as a mouse and touch-screen.

Updated NSW.net PC Image

Upgrade to the latest version of ZoomText
Addition of WinZip software
Removal of Outlook Express icon from the quick launch toolbar and desktop
Disabling of right click mouse button
Disabling of access to Tools/Internet Options menus in Internet Explorer
Inclusion of IE icon on desktop and quick launch toolbar
Setting of zero (0) history days for saving URL's in Internet Explorer
Additional input locales installed for English (AUS), English (US), Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Portuguese, Arabic (Egypt), Arabic (Lebanon) and Greek languages
