Who ownes an Optical Drive?

Geekazoid

Added an additional poll to see if you have an Optical Drive. Do you actually use it?

----------------------------------------------------------------------UPDATE----------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey guys just thought I'd start this topic because it'd be interesting to see how many people do/don't have Optical Drives.

They've seem to become an optional component rather than a neccesary one considering you can do most things online.

I've added a poll to see how many yes and nos we get.

_________________________________________________________________________________________ PLEASE NOTE:

To keep this post safe for kids to see would you please mind removing and avoiding the use of any harsh profanities. Words like "crap" would be fine but the words that rhyme with spit and duck could you please avoid using. This is just a simple request that I hope can be taken into account when posting under this topic.

ON A 7 MONTH BREAK FROM THESE LTT FORUMS. WILL BE BACK ON NOVEMBER 5th.

I do

They are convenient

I'm not a huge fan of people trying to get rid of them as it is just convenient

But I like to fill my bays with useless shit that makes it look cool afterall lol

Fan controlllers, LED optical drives, blahblah

xD 

If I had one wish, I would ask for a big enough ass for the whole world to kiss

I have DVD drive for my computer but its not in my rig as I don't use that much these day's, tend to use a portable dvd drive when we need to use one for installing stuff, most driver's/programs and games are now downloaded, its just easier.

Cry Havoc!

I own several but I don't use them.

They're sharing a drink they call loneliness, but it's better than drinkin' alone...

I have a Optical in every computer.

I happen to have lot's of optical media, like some games and music. I don't think I will be getting rid of them in the next maybe 10 years

I only use an optical drive about 1% of the amount of time that I am on my PC but it would be such a pain in the ass to not have an optical drive that it is still an invaluable piece of hardware (for the average user).

I am having a hard time figuring it out. Somehow I think It is one of the non-defaults. That one is close.

Seeing as you are not a typical dunce and know how to toggle bbcode show/hide

I can't give you any extra credit ^_^

Would have been a fun challenge if you did anything though  :lol:
