Well, if the optical disk is your primary mass storage device, how do you
get anything new onto it if you have to take it out and put another disk in?
The old macintosh way? ("Please insert disk foo bar") :-).
I sure would like to have at least a streamer to do backups, software

compatible with most other streamers (not the hp way).
