Hey Cami, hey Robert, hey everyone on the net. Weekend's going alright, been doing a little bit of yard work and just trying to catch up on some stuff. Well I was going to share this with Brian, I saw that he can't do the net, but I probably will have to email him because I think he is in the same category as me about this, but it may be of interest to you or other folks on the net. I have just been hearing some rumors that apparently there are no longer any optical drives being made for PCs or for computers any longer. That while you can still buy a Blu-ray player or a 4K player, that there are no companies that are making optical drives for a computer, whether that be for an external, I think a lot of the internal devices have gone away a long time ago and that's fine, I don't have any way to use those, but as somebody who likes to watch movies and to purchase movies and then to copy those onto a hard drive so that I can have them, this is disconcerting, I do have two drives myself, one that only reads CDs and DVDs and one that can read Blu-rays, but I don't want just one drive that can read these discs. So they are still out there being sold in stores, but I'm wondering how a lot of people are probably going to act on this and probably start to buy them up. I am looking to probably buy at least one or two more just to have because they do fail and I do have many discs, including ones that I'm still buying that I would like to rip and it seems like wow, it's amazing how these things can be here and you think that they're going to be around for a long, long time and they aren't. They're going to be around forever. So yeah, it seems like kind of a strange thing to be the optical drive kind of just here. Yeah, I have these drives I'm going to drop to. Time out here.
