[double harumph ... meant to send this to the list earlier]
i buy a few used CDs, of generally somewhat obscure music, but which cost me
much less than any legit online source, if there is one; people who buy used
stuff aren't customers Apple really cares about, though
And if for some reason someone with a computer DOES buy a CD it gets used
exactly once: to load the music onto the computer.
well, that's true, but i also often read the liner notes
And they are watching of a physical DVD? Have they HEARD of Handbrake? 1GB file
on the hard drive for SD quality DVD movie. Rent, rip, watch whenever you want,
and delete.
there are very few movies i watch more than once; i own only a handful of DVDs
and most of them i have watched once or less; most of what i watch comes from
the library; it's usually not worth the trouble to me to RIP a DVD
I am really waiting to hear GPU performance specs for the low (Intel 3000) and
mid range (Radeon 6630M) minis before getting one. My current mini will be
promoted (demoted?) to being the TV computer as I am finding that the Apple TV
simply doesn’t do enough of what I want even with jail breaking. I was quite
happy to see I wouldn’t have to have the bother of a DVD slot and the dust it
allows on the new models.
there are some here:

it looks like the low-end GPU underperforms the previous model, but the
higher-end is much better
