Mine has a CD drive, but the whole laptop sure is bulky and heavy 
compared to modern units.

They are an obsolete medium on computers.  It's rare to find new 
software or anything on disc.  We still sell a lot of DVD's in our 
second hand shop.  $1-5 each depending on the title.

Nobody wants VHS tapes anymore, so I grab old Disney tapes for free when 
I come across them.  The kids don't care about the quality and still 
enjoy watching them.  Occasionally the babies like the bright colored 
animations.
