You got it... that's what we've decided to do. There really is no reason 
for the Kiosk machine to store any data... it's all going to get 
processed and uploaded to the main dbase later anyway. So, we will just 
have any "Submit" done on the Kiosk immediately post to the main OS X 
Serve on the LAN (which is always alive) then the team that needs to 
preprocess the data before upload to the server will work on that data, 
not any files on the Kiosk machine. I will build in a small failsafe... 
the WiFi network is flaky and a post fails, it will queue up data 
locally until the next session and pass any local files to the server 
that might be in the queue. This way we bypass completely any 
conversations with the Kiosk machine.
