Sasha can access Sugar from in a wide variety of settings. I will create a different location for each type of environment.  The point of this User Story is to get feedback on which of these ideas are technically feasible, and whether they are worth doing.

'Home':  Sasha has a donated computer at home. The disk drive was removed.  Sasha boots the home computer from the USB.

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 cuts.  This 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.

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.
