How can you call it a proprietarised PS? The standard is published and Adobe doesn't try to make it hard for 3rd parties to implement viewers and writers.

I think it's funny when people call Microsoft's code "sloppy" -- Very few people outside of MS have actually seen MS code. Microsoft, AFAIK, has a system by which their programmers all write code. On top of Hungarian Notation, they use a very specific structure in their design process.
And this design process works so well, doesn't it.
I don't know why you'd want to slow down the bus of a new machine just to recycle cards. Then again, I don't upgrade machines, I just buy new ones and relegate the old ones to new tasks.
Better to have 1394 compliant stuff (1394 is here now, USB2 isn't even a released spec yet, let alone available hardware) that you can just plug in to another machine when you want to.

Go with CVS - it's network friendly.
And you can configure it to use SSH as the transport mechanism.

No one is forcing you to toss your ISA stuff.

Why would I want to buy 10 $15 floppy drives when I can buy one USB floppy drive and move it from computer to computer with the disks?

How is it better to have a card that can be lost, and has to be purchased for each student instead of a login/password?
Anything they store on the card can be in a file in the user's home directory.
umm - it has chunks in it, so it isn't drool, it's puke.
built in serial numbers - I don't think so
