Many, many "start up" issues resolved by CIT. Here are any remaining ones to work through.
Printing
Can't install a printer for which the driver is installed.
As it is now, dual-sided printer reverts to single-sided printer. That is, one ends up not even having the option to choose double-sided. Even though it can initially be made to see it's double-sided. Or something like that!
USB flash drive
Can't see USB storage device at all. Simple USB flash, 64MB from Dell.
iPhone plugged in by USB (to charge it) is recognized by the computer.
Doesn't retain "don't ask me again" or "remember this" settings
- iPhone: Trust this computer? I say Yes, and remember that. It won't remember it.
Skype
Camera only works when object placed an inch or less from the lens. Won't detect or refresh otherwise. Odd!

CIT's service's pricing:
AWS offers similar service (WorkSpaces), for about 5 times the cost (as of 3/2015):
Best performance will be when usingTeradici’s PC-over-IP (PCoIP) technology ,which CIT has licensed for its hosting infrastructure. Clients have to have this licensed to use it, and it is not available on Rasberry Pi-type devices.
