This was my first thought too. Just as the BBC wiped loads of tv
programmes to re-use the tapes then later wished they hadn't so a school
might decide to "re-use" the keydrive (or a student might think it is
'fun') so I'd push the DVD as the primary option by a long way as it is
guaranteed to stay around (hell I've just discovered a load of data CDs
from the mid-90s which are still usable)
