    Question Do you still use optical drives (CD, DVD, Blu Ray)?

    Hi all, this is a little poll about dear old shiny discs. I'm a bit old style and still use them, after all I have a TON of music, movies, games and software on those things and I certainly won't throw them away any time soon! What do you say?
