During our DSL outage, Peri decided to go to FedEx (nee Kinko's) 
to pick
up here email. Their setup involved plugging an Ethernet cable 
AND a USB
cable into the computer. To arrange payment, you ran a program 
from the
USB "disk".

My question, for someone with a machine running Polaris, is, 
does this
program run correctly in a Polaris sand box? (It offers to 
install print
drivers for the local printers, which I assume won't run sand 
boxed, but
what about general internet access?

Cheers - Bill
