I'd say we're further along than we were when Apple dropped the floppy. As they pertain to computer uses, optical discs are already mostly gone. Their primary use to consumers is through other, non-computer, devices (CD / DVD / BluRay players, game systems, etc.). I bet a very small percentage of users have computer based media centers and a drastically smaller percentage are using Apple computers for that task. -- arno s hautala /-| [email protected] pgp b2c9d448 _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
