    Much rather have them create read-only (or semi read only to import patches?) flash-storage USB sticks.

    Who the hell has a built-in CD player or even a BD-player in this time and age?
    I have an external USB-CD player but only so I can digitize the CDs I buy online.

      The answer is nerds. The specific answer is the type of nerds who would buy this sort of thing.

      You’re looking at one right now, in fact — I have an internal 5.25" Blu-Ray burner in the lone singular bay in my current case. (The machine with the conga line of nearly every type of floppy drive ever created down the front of it lives in the basement.)

          Hey, I’d burn the entire box set of Debian (yeah, ALL OF DEBIAN! 27 discs!) to some DVD-Rs if we had any DVD-Rs! All we’ve got are CD-Rs and those ain’t big enough.
