You're talking to White Spurt. Only slightly less dumb than turd.

He's obsessed with DVD players for some reason : something you can pick
up for a few dollars if you need it as a portable usb device. My current
favorite laptop is a thinkpad without DVD built in. Why would I need
that extra volume, weight and "thing to go wrong" when I've probably
installed next to nothing form DVD in the last years - but then I do use
Debian and pretty much everything I download using the package manager
or compile from source for, e.g, the wireless chip.

You must remember that White Spurt and wRonG are highly skilled analysts
who know better than Apple what people want.
