The Netflix streaming catalog isn't tiny because people still have handy optical drives. It's tiny because the studio licensing terms are difficult/arcane/expensive. Apple can disappear optical all it wants - it's not going to have any effect on the byzantine licensing problems Netflix grapples with. Totally orthogonal problems. ./s _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
