DOJ has now corrected this shortcoming in their version of the

In another story I read, that writer was trying to explain why the<br>
report was delivered on CD-ROM. "Government offices still have
working<br>
CD drives" is the line that stuck out. What the author failed
to<br>
realize that, as of today, many computers still ship with some sort
of<br>
CD, DVD, or Blu-Ray drive, and those "quaint" CD-ROMs are
easily read by<br>
this galazy of drive devices. Outboard drives are readily available
--<br>
I bought my Blu-Ray USB drive at Costco.<br><br>
The author did make a point that stirred some memories: legal
discovery<br>
will substitute a CD-ROM disc for boxes of papers. When I was
required<br>
to tap an e-mail account as sysadmin at a web hosting company, I<br>
delivered my work product to the IRS on CD-ROM, complete with
checksum<br>
information on the label and on a paper affidavit. (Never heard
from<br>
the IRS after that -- and that was more than 10 years
ago.)</blockquote></body>
