So, are you saying that you have no way to play CDs -
even on the piece of technology that you're writing us on?

That's correct. I've always built my own towers for my server, and I honestly thought that CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drives disappeared YEARS ago. I recall from my days working in an office supply store about 5 years back when software companies stopped putting their content onto DVD discs and instead printed a download code in each box. (It really drives home how mentally handicapped you have to be to buy software in a store when they're going to make you go download it anyway!)

I know the few big box cartels are still selling CDs - Walmart and a few others, but I really can't fathom why PCs would be sold with such a drive in 2016.

I'm seeing really great things happening in the micro PC world - that really seems to be where its at. PiMAME is a brilliant and low-cost gaming center, and Raspbmc is equally great for home media servers.

It's an incredible time to be alive for computing. I just don't see any reason to have a CD or DVD player in the 21st century.

(invites the snide reply: "This from a dude who spend several grand on a RECORD PLAYER!")
