No USB allowed

Just a week after I blogged about this exact issue, I find this in Iowa. If anyone from the Pella Public Librar attends my workshop tomorrow I do plan on asking them about it. Failing that, I might send an e-mail their direction to find out the story.

That is super lame...

I wonder if they just don't have anyone there knowledgable enough about technology to implement the necessary security (deepfreeze or whatever) to protect the computers. It's usually more about fear and ignorance than anything.

You totally should bring it up and also let them know what they can do to protect their computers while still allowing folks to use their USB sticks.

No one from Pella was in my class today but people who know the director at Pella were very suprised by this. They're assuming there's more to the story and will be helping me to look into it. I'll continue to post information as I receive it.
