FWIW, context, and acknowledging release criteria is not same thing as purging functionality: 1-a non-zero number of PCs remaining in service here cannot boot from USB (actual quantity impractical to ascertain among the large total number) 2-all (probably) PCs in service here have working OM drives (some have floppy drives, among which one booted from less than a month ago) 3-OM are cheap and easy to buy in required capacities; USB are expensive both in purchase cost and space waste 4-OM have plenty room to write a legible content catalog, USB the opposite 5-OM are physically easy to library, USB the opposite (disparate shapes and sizes, with no purpose-made storage containers) 6-I bought two 5.25" DVD writers since the first of this month 7-I have yet to install any OS from USB media Newer does not equate to better. IOW, USB media is a considerable PITA compared to OM. -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Whatever else you get, get wisdom." Proverbs 4:7 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.
