Writeable CD drive on a public machine?

[Di Clarke]

I think we may be hearing more about this ... we allow students to download
their articles, assignments etc onto floppies so they can print them at
home, but only last week a student asked me if she could download onto a
cd. It's the first time we've had this request, but I don't think it will
be the last - apparently, this is normal procedure for her at home - all of
her work is stored on disc ...

cheers
Di
