I did watch Netflix DVD's...no more.
I have bought movies from itunes, and will continue. I'll also continue to stream Netflix.

I have a usb DVD drive, but I think I've used it once.

Like the parallel port, why continue to add something that is used once in a blue moon?
Hm, fair enough. It's interesting to me, given that most of the people I know still have a huge collection of physical media. I can certainly understand that we may not be (aren't?) a representative sample of anything, but it seems like the choice to remove a physical media platform entirely is 'premature'. But then, I can certainly just buy an external if more laptops start to move in that direction.
