That's absolutely right, but for a quick and dirty setup where performance isn't important it's a nice solution (e.g. a modem/isdn router, or a public terminal for database-access). It's a bulletproof setup where people can even slam the table without causing a headcrash :-) And they even can't steal the disc.
