Sorry, but some current and next generation laptops still have CD/DVD/BD drives. You do seem to have a very narrow view of the diversity of hardware currently being manufactured and sold.

This and the current revision has the usual CD/DVD drive. ael _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
