Recycle or Re-Use?

Moderate to high skills required depending on what hardware you use. Simple skills required for tablets.

  1. Old hardware can be re-used – tablets and desktops or laptops. Try Ubuntu and Open Office, Porteus on a desktop or laptop as appropriate
  2. Try Kiosk mode on an older iPad (e.g. for Surveys) or desktop (easy) - Google "Kiosk mode on an iPad". There are also free kiosk based browser apps which are very simple to install and use.
  3. Add a touch screen to an existing PC for customer interaction with the PC in Kiosk mode
  4. If you buy new, can you just buy the PC and not the monitor, keyboard. Mouse – buy from cheaper or refurbished sources – it is highly likely to be OK for your needs and cheaper. E.g. https://www.backmarket.co.uk/en-gb/about-us

A bit about Steve

You may have come here looking for some help with a web site. If you have come here for my sailing, woodworking, cycling or family history pages pop over here.

OK I build web sites - usually for small businesses, community or volunteer groups. I know what it can be like for you - unsure about costs, what you get for your money, will it be worth it? I will be absolutley clear right up front. There will be no hidden charges and you will get my full support. You may not even have to pay anything until your site goes live. Your satisfaction is my focus. I can provide great references from other satisfied customers. There is nothing to lose by contacting me - I won't hassle you afterwards. I like to keep it worry free for you.
