[Year 12 IPM] usb memory sticks

[Mark Scott]

I thought Grey (or is it Brown) was the new floppy.

USB is the new floppy .... I think that we should just ban students,
afterall we continually have problems with them.

Just like any *new* technology, develop a policy, educate and contain
the
risk rather than ban it completely.
