I've been circulating that copy of IIAB to Haiti/Tim (etc) since Curt gave
me a copy early June, our first refresh since August 2013.  George then
worked hard to fix file permissions, after Curt accidentally shipped us a
drive with permissions issues.  Since this version of IIAB has already
shipped to multiple schools in Haiti over the past month, is this something
we can fix remotely ideally?  Or worst case, is that impossible hard?
