| When the Wizpy USB device boots up, it tricks the computer into seeing it
| as a CD-ROM drive, which enables the Linux kernel to run instead of, say,
| Windows or Mac OS. All OS settings and users' documents remain within
| Wizpy, leaving no record or file imprint behind on the host computer's hard
| drive.
