But why pay $99.95 for a glorified 128MB USB Memory stick running a fixed version of Netscape? Why not instead buy a normal 128 MB USB Memory stick (starting at $25 at buy.com) and run Mozilla Firefox off of it with this tip: <a href="http://texturizer.net/firefox/tips.html#oth_usb">http://texturizer.net/firefox/tips.html#oth_usb</a> Of course, a legitimate use for this would be wanting to surf websites and retain bookmarks and history everywhere you go.

As always, the best advice for visiting "questionable" sites at work is simple: Don't.

And if the IT folks are any good, they are producing reports based on traffic, not what files are left on your hard drive. For example, we produce monthly reports of the biggest "surfers" in the company. And the firewall logs just about everything you'd ever want to know about were they visit.
