Some of the stories this guy has told me have really scared
me. The lack of common sense simply makes me pray these folks don't
drive cars or operate any equipment that can pose a danger to
themselves and others. When someone asks him if the computer needs to
be plugged in to work because pushing keys on the keyboard isn't doing
anything, I wonder, and he's not the only support person I've heard
receive that question from a caller either. Note this was a Dell
desktop support call.

Ok, well if anyone is stupid enough to use a CD tray as a coffee cup
holder then quite frankly, they don't deserve to be using a computer
and should be locked away from them.

Hah. Sadly, there have been people who thought their CD trays
were, indeed, coffee cup holders. I didn't believe this could be
possible, but I know a guy who works for Dell tech support in Canada
and he encountered this a couple of times over the years.

Because with slot-loaded drives, you don't get that neat new 52x
coffee cup holder.

Slot loading drives are brilliant. First of all, everyone should
remember that car stereos have been using the same design for
years and years and you rarely hear about anyone having issues
with those. I suspect car CD players get a lot more wear and tear
than computer CD drives...at least overall. I've known people in
the past who have been careless and accidently busted their CD
drive drawer when it was sticking out of their computer...both
laptop and desktop varieties. The space saved and reliability and
minimization of risk of breakage afforded by slot loading drives
is a wonderful thing, in my opinion, and I don't understand for
the life of me why few, if any, PC laptop makers have followed suit.
