What's wrong with old fashioned DVD's? <SNIP> They can get scratched and become unreadable. Just had it happen. We had an INSTALL DVD get a scratch on it, and it became a coaster. Mind you, it was in a protection sleeve inside a thick cardboard media envelope. Granted, you can make the same arguments for a USB drive (well, what if they dropped it?). But it is, in my opinion, harder to screw up a 4GB thumb drive than it is to screw up a DVD.
