Do you think that will change in future computers?
After all, the monitors are becoming HD.

There are internal Blu-Ray drives (read and write) available for
computers but it's not a common standard configuration yet. At least
not that I've seen.

Folks:
I've been off this list for more than a month, so here I am, back in
the fold.
As I'm sure some of you are aware, some films are being released only
on Blu-Ray (BD).
Our College doesn't currently own a Blu-Ray player, although it is on
the purchase request
list (1 or 2 machines, not converting all existing classrooms).
Can someone tell me if BD will play in a computer, as opposed to
having a Blu-Ray
player?
Susan
