While I disagree with that, I must point out most != all. Are
you suggesting that anyone not having a CD writer be abandoned as
far as support is concerned?
A lot of in use systems, I would say the majority of systems - do
not have a CD writer, and the majority of people do not have a
use, or have little for such a device even today. CD writers are
definitely not the "general case".

Signature poll: I'm planning on getting a 12 or 16 port autosensing
10/100 ethernet switch soon for home use, and am interested in hearing
others recommendations on what to buy. Cost isn't as important as is
functionality and quality. Any suggestions appreciated.
