Hmmm. I shall try that next time I'm at work, though I expect that
either the BIOSes may be crippled or the administrators have
crippled them.
 
Ah! Just remembered. The administrators /have/ crippled them. They
don't have floppy drives!  Grrr. Gets me several times a week. I'm
rushing out of the house and I think "I'll just copy these files
to a disk and take them to work. Get to work and remember there's
not floppy drive. End up trekking downstairs to the library to use
a library computer (which do have floppy drives).
