I cannot imagine having to work that way, but I do believe I understand why. I applied for a job like that one time, decided against it. I do not have experience with using VS offline, but this may help a little: USB WORM | Write Once Read Many USB Drive | Flexxon[^] I am sure standard USB's are also forbidden, but maybe this one would be allowed and reduce the number DVD's you need to shuffle. Good luck!
