Re: tour inside a flash drive

I don't believe there is an write-once flash drive available.
It's possible there might be someone selling worm flash drives, but I would
imagine they would have to be "authored" during manufacturing. You send your
files and they send x number of drives. But I haven't heard of this as a
service.
The closest you can get is a flash drive with a hardware switch you can flip
to disable write access but is also easily unflipable by the end user.
For this method, you'll have to fall back on tradditional worm media (write
once read many) cd's and dvds.
I think it would be much cooler to have a tour on a normal drive in a
directory thats clean and won't interfere with reusing your flash drive.
Less chance of someone erasing it that way.
Then the autorun or html file in the root directory will load it up.
