I was actually going to send myself an email to my home address to post on here showing what I mean, but I forgot about it until almost the end of the day. I did find an email at work that was sent to us a while back with the following blurb to illustrate what I'm refering to.
"The following devices, including plugging in USB connectors for battery charging are banned from connecting to network computers:
Thumb drives, USB flash drives, memory sticks and other flash storage devices. Here is a list of examples.
- iPods and Sony PSPs
- Kindle and eBook readers
- Personal and Government-issued cell phones
- Camera and camcorders
- Flash media card readers"
Things like card readers, mice, keyboards, etc, that are USB powered are allowed on network computers, but things that can be considered a storage device are not. Ironically enough, there's no problem with us using CDR's or CDRW's though as I use them quite often to update drivers or download and transfer service or parts manuals so I don't see the difference but, ehh, whatever.
