I think the best solution is toggle a "single task" environment, that is
turned on by administrators (like the person from the Internet Cafe). When
enabled, the entire screen would gray 50% with a big "Please Wait,
Loading..." text in the middle. Like a ScreenSaver of some sort that is
started when a program icon is clicked and stopped when the program is
available for input. This would be VERY HELPFUL for many beginners.
