Not really.  I understand what Joe wants to do here: introduce data into
the school system machines from something other than the peculiar device
they're currently allowing (see the earlier messages in the discussion).
The school system has policies, with this particular technical
implementation, with which I would bet they hope to prevent virus
infestations.  Of course, the far better virus protection would be to
use a well designed operating system with well designed access policies,
but they benightedly think they're preparing their students for the
"real world" by having them use that obscene filth spewed by the felon
monopolist.

Oh, you wanted me to tell you what I really think?
