I use the kiosks every now and then; they really do seem to be
usable and solid.  One thing I don't think is mentioned on that
page: the flatscreens have been made more abuse-proof with Plexiglas
or something like it, since some vandal (visigoth?) punched a monitor
out.

It's such a nice thing to be able to go to a club while oncall,
knowing that you'll be able to sit down in a corner and ssh out if
necessary...
