Letter: Thumb drives are useless at VA
Regarding “
VA buys 25K secure thumb drives,” the thumb drives don't work and the Office of Information Technology has no solution.
You can't use them at a non-Veterans Affairs Department computers because the device drivers don't load.
It sort of defeats the purpose as everything within VA is connected via a network and there is no need for a thumb drive inside the department.
VA has sent us back to the Stone Age. I will give my next presentation at the national meeting by holding up pieces of paper. Should make a good impression.
