[K12OSN] pointer movement

[Doug Simpson]

Just tell them that if they did in fact click it, to wait at least 30 
seconds for the splash screen or it will crash the computers at NORAD.

<heh-heh>

Just tell them to wait after clicking it only once since any consecutive 
clicks causes it to load more than one copy, slowing it down even further.

One way to make it a bit faster is to already have one client running it 
when they get there.  Say on the teacher's computer, minimized.  
OpenOffice is one of the applications that can share code and once it is 
loaded, the next loads will go faster because it only has to do the 
user-specicif stuff instead of a complete new load.

Guys?  Let me know if this has changed!  Seems this way on my server at 
home. . .First opens slow, consecutive ones open faster. . .
