Given the choice between having optical drives and not having them, I still
prefer to have one. I suppose the Internet is making them obsolete, but I
find an occasional use for them. I also still occasionally use my USB floppy
drive from time to time, as well. I suppose most people are not into retro
computing, so.. I just watched a video of a guy that was able to use his
USB floppy drive on his iPad. Things like that interest me.
As for LightScribe, I haven't used that in ages. It was a great technology,
as it basically turned your optical drive into a label etcher. I guess now,
they just make all the media printable. I guess that would work as well,
but I use a laser printer. I've never actually had a printer that could
print on optical media.
