They are lots more expensive than CD/DVDs, however. Not that this is
automatically a non-starter, but it speaks to Mr. Cook's earlier point.
I'd sooner get a USB DVD drive, even though they are slightly less portable.

I have never used a flash drive with a write-protect switch. Does anyone on
the list have any experience with those and know whether or not a virus
would be able to bypass that? Just curious how effective it would be in
keeping viruses at bay. That being said
should not be
able to cause any addition infections to the files on the USB device.
