Alternative to floppy

A current procedure tells the customer to save a configuration file to a
floppy disk, write-protect the floppy, label the floppy, and store the
floppy for future reference.

Happy 2008! Floppy has left the building.

The PC in question wouldn't necessarily have a CD-ROM burner, so that's
not an option.

A thumb drive isn't as easily write-protected, and of course some
customers would be tempted to overwrite it and use it for other
purposes.

The PC in question wouldn't necessarily have e-mail access, but it would
probably have Internet access. Still, it would be nice to come up with a
cheap, simple, hard-media alternative to the floppy. Any thoughts?
