We're all old. Young people do everything by streaming and they're the
target market for computers nowadays.

I'm with Rick on this: my CD player (which also handles USB sources) will show
videos and stills with an easy and informative display, is 35x18x3cm and sits
on the stack of other devices connected to my TV.
In any case, why should I be forced to spend either the time or the money in
converting these high quality sources, Deutsche Gramophon vinyl and CD's, into
another format which is just as likely to be replaced in the future by some
other whiz-kids brainchild?
I'm still mad at having to buy an external CD/DVD player to connect to my
latest generation PC: do the PC manufacturers think we have thrown away our
source software discs? I admit to being an old fart, but I still use Lotus
software written in 1990 when I need to have a secure file (on the grounds
no-one else nowadays would be able open it, even if they recognised the file
type).
And of course, how many backup files are no longer accessible because either the creation
or restore software exists (hello Microsoft), or the media is now "obsolete"?
