I go with Chad on the processors and boards (he supplies ours).<br>
<br>
But at least some of our patrons PC's do and will have burners for
various reasons.<br>
<br>
USB's are good but can become corrupt.<br>
(Actually I don't trust anything for ever and like multiple copies on
different media)<br>
<br>
It's easier for staff and cheaper for the library to burn a cd or even
a dvd for a patron if we need to.<br>
We keep a bunch of CD's and DVD's and sell for $1, but gimme's many
times.<br>
Also a few USB stick to sell for $10 (No gimme's for them)<br>
<br>
The extra drives also gives me someplace to make liveDVD's or various
backups<br>
Only a few staff PC's have burners.<br>
<br>
And in case you're too young:<br>
a gimme is like when you could go to a lumber yard or hardware store
and say 'gimme a hat' or 'gimme a nail apron'.<br>
<br>
You probably still can but you get a 'gimme $5' back at you.<br>
