I mean seriously.. who burns stuff these days? I've stopped burning like 2-3 years back.. it's just completely ridiculous, slow and impractical.
By 2010 nobody is going to need an optical drive, little less a burner. Just look at Apple Air. Just like floppy got completely phased out from recent machines so it will be the fate of optical media.
Right now, I just buy a DVD drive to read an occasional game or install software (less software cause I download everything online anyways - most software companies have download distribution anyways). I have a bunch of external HDDs for like $100 for 320gb to 500gb hdds (rewritable, lightning fast).
I think they are just waisting time and money and by 2010, whoohoooo, who knows where we'll be.
