'''Grandma's House''':  Sasha also uses Grandma's computer.  Grandma's computer does not allow the Bios to be set to boot from USB, or maybe Grandma just doesn't know how to do it, so Sasha keeps a CD there.  To use Sugar Sasha put in the CD, plugs in the USB and turns on the computer.  The boot starts with the CD, and then the CD tells the system to look on the USB for most of the files.

'''Hair Dresser''': Because every kid in the city has a Sugar USB some of the local businesses have decided to put a computer in the children's areas for kids to use while parents are getting hair cutsThis computer is exclusively for Sugar but it still has a Hard Drive and when it boots it uses some of the files on the hard drive and looks to the USB for user files. This saves boot time because the files on the hard drive save hardware configuration data and reading the hard drive is faster then reading a USB.

'''The Zoo''': The Zoo has classes for kids with science themes.  They have a cart of sturdy laptops, with built in cameras, mics, and sensors they can plug in.  Many of their programs involve taking the kids outside with the laptops.  These laptops are exclusively used for the childrens programs and they always use Sugar.  95% percent of the kids come in with their School USB, they have loaners for the ones who don'tThe laptops are exclusively for Sugar but they still have Hard Drives and when it boots it uses some of the files on the hard drive and looks to the USB for user files. This saves boot time because the files on the hard drive save hardware configuration data and reading the hard drive is faster then reading a USB.
    
'''YMCA''': The local YMCA has an active after-school/vacations etc program.  There is a bank of 10 computers for kids to use.  They are thin clients run from one server.  There is a USB port, and the user experience is just like booting on a stand alone computer, except because it doesn't really have to fully boot for each student switching users is much faster.

'''At School''': Due to the E-Rate program all the schools are well connected so the schools system decided to take advantage of the economies of scale and hosts a large server centrally.  In each classroom there are thin clients and a USB port.  The user experience is exactly the same as at the YMCA, but in this case the server is located several miles away.
