Add $0.02 about flash thumb drives.

Go run a working school computer lab one for awhile, talk to a public school administrator... you'll know/hear what I'm talking about. Noone willingly creates more work for themselves unless they see it saves gobs of energy or time elsewhere or blows test scores out of the water... SoaS doesn't offer any of that yet, IMHO.

What is it with flash-based thumb drives? In the previous decade, I went through
 +
several of them as they successively died off in turn. This led to the practice
 +
of using a PAIR, so that when one dies, the "RAIDed twin" provides a fail-safe.
 +
Some people recommend periodic reformatting as a means to obviate failures. Has
 +
the problem finally been solved? I have not had a disaster for a long time now.
