Mike:
The only way I can see it treat them like you do floppies and CDs.
Certainly not a media for record retention much less permanent records.
What do others think?

Subject: USB Memory Sticks
Hi All:
Long Time Lurker first time participant, I have been ask to provide
input on policy development for the use of the new portable storage devise,
the USB Memory Stick. I personally see many problems not the least of which
is the C word "Control". I don't recall having seen this topic come up on
the list before so I thought that I would put out to the members for
discussion and comment. Below is the Background and Policy Objective
Information.
BACKGROUND
The memory stick digital data storage device is quickly becoming the new
standard for storage and transfer media. It is small, lightweight and has
many times the storage capacity of a 3.5 inch floppy disk. Though the
storage capacity of a re-writable compact disk is superior, memory sticks
allow faster access and transfer, can be re-used and therefore are better
suited to the office environment. Memory sticks allow the user to transfer
work related information such as presentations and data quickly from one
device to another.
POLICY OBJECTIVE
To provide direction on the acquisition and use of memory sticks by Centre
Employees.
