Switching Platforms

[Alex]

I just had to look at my computer to confirm it has optical drives it has been so long since I used them.

It has been a couple years since I watched an actual DVD (via TV or computer) so that is out. A dropbox account and my needs for file transfer are met.

I remember how I mocked Apple when they decided they didn't need floppy drives in their computers. But I was wrong. And while there are many people who do have need for optical drives, I think it is probably so low a number at this point that it doesn't make sense to make everybody buy one just so they have them.

I've now maxed out my nice-things-to-say-about-Apple quota for the year.
