	More than that distinguishes them.

	Fitting out a lab with a new batch of machines is likely to
	be much more labour-intensive if logging in and opening
	a web browser on each of dozens of machines is necessary.
	We don't need to do that today, and would very likely find 
	it a significant burden.
