Who cares? Why so much fuss over this "format war"? Format of what? An ancient concept of storing read-only bits glued over a piece of plastic? I don't plan on using CDs or DVDs or any kind of big physical objects to store anything on in the future.
- brlittle 19y agoIs it snarky to ask what you mean by "big physical object?" Most things are big on a relative scale. Besides, what do you plan to do in the interim between now and whenever the proposed future arrives?
- tx 19y ago:-) In my case future has arrived already. I don't use CDs or DVDs for anything, except rare OS installations and Mac Air already shows how that can be done without a CD. I am on the network, nearly all the time. Plus I have a 4GB flash drive and soon I'll get 32GB one of the same price. Why would I want a read-only plastic disk for?
- brlittle 19y agoNot a question I can answer. ;) But I want one because the quality of Blu-ray (or whatever hi-def format) simply beats the snot out of anything I can get via download. So perhaps that's a subjective thing. I'm not ready to kick my physical media to the curb at this time, though I do wish I could rip the hi-def formats. Let me know when you find that deal on 32GB flash drives...I'll be right in line behind you for 2 or 3!
