[OPLINTECH] memory sticks

[Carol Dunn]

I agree with Jim. Anyone who wants to maliciously tamper with a PC will find
a way. And those memory sticks are so great, I have two of them!  :-)

The memory stick itself isn't the problem. You must ask yourself if there is
anything differnt that you carry on a memory stick that you can't carry on a
floppy because really a memory stick is just a big floppy.
A patron or for that matter a staff member can bring a virus into the
library on a word document, in an email, from a web page, etc. etc.
Instead of trying to limit the type of storage media, insure that you're
running a good anti-virus program that is up to date.

	Can memory sticks carry viruses the same as cd's and floppys?
Should we allow patrons to bring them in and use them in our machines?
