I was helping my dad declutter. I found a bunch of old Medicare brochures, and the one from 2016 came with a cd. I had the realization that if I wanted to see what’s inside I couldn’t because I don’t have anything with a cd drive. I still have a bunch of old media on cds that I haven’t been able to play because I don’t have a drive. It’s kind of a weird situation to be in since at the moment at least, I can stream everything but what will happen when it won’t be available? It’s a crappy future out there.

    You can still get a usb external drive very cheaply. I would actually still have an optical drive in my PC if there were any decent cases still being made that has space for them.

    I have a Fractal POP XL Air with 2 bluray burners in it. Heaps of space and it's very modern looking and well built.
