Default Outlook PST question

Hi,
I have a user (Boss, actually) and he wants to take his emails home on a CD.
(You know what they're like...)
The setup here is this :
Boss is on a XP laptop PC in the office.
Mail server is Exchange, but only internal. Not accesible from outside. (We
plan to add MX in May.) External mail is grabbed from the ISP by a POP mail
grabber.
Outlook account on PC is using cache.

(I think I'm right in thinking that if he took his laptop home he would
still find his mails on it.
Because they're synchronised in an OST ? I think, never tried that.)

The only thing I can see him doing is an archive of all his mails into a
PST.
Copy the PST onto a CD and take it home.
But, if I remember correctly, a PST has to be on a Read/Write media for
Outlook to be able to open it.
So then he would have to copy the PST to his hard drive.

Am I right / wrong /partly ?
TIA

Bazwaz
