Wow ha. I graduated from DLSU-M, and although not all laboratories have exposed USB drives (as in drives in front), most of the new ones/upgraded ones have them already, so most people carry that instead of diskettes. Diskettes are prone to corruption (I learned that the hard way; that's why when we have machine projects, we have three disk-backups) and can also acquire virus/worms/trojan horse just as well as a flash disk. Hmm...knowing that in DLSU-D surprised me ha. Even if I've never been there, you have a point about the ITC not making use of antivirus programs. :???:<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('10162','Tina'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('10162','Tina','They don\'t let you use flash disks in DLSU-D?
