I ran headfirst into this "non-writeable" business a few years back. For what I was doing, though, I went straight into the virtualization thing, which seems awful popular with the kids these days. Forensics still needs the stick, though, although I am sure one of my grandkids knows some super secret trick that does the same thing in half the time/money. Also, add me to the queue of people who were jazzed about an article detailing someone walking away from ISO specifications. I've lost count of the ISO "specifications" that turned out to be nothing more than freeways into the garage of a sole-source vendor who "maintains" some archaic file specification that apparently I can't do without. And who runs the Working Group. Fancy that! What a co-inky-dink. And AS9100 governance has gone from "middling poor" to "cannonball dive into the thunder pot" during the course of my professional career, now flirting with "outright extortion" . Now, I do realize AS9100 is SAE and not ISO proper, but a ton of the bad stuff is coming straight from old ISO hands either in their original chairs or having moved around to SAE or IAQG.
