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.
