POLL: Do you have a DVD-ROM in your computer?

[Jeff7181]

Reason I'm asking is because the January issue of Computer Gaming World came with a DVD rather than a CD packed with 5 complete games all free. Apparently people wrote in complaining they couldn't use any of them because they didn't have a DVD-ROM drive. Are people REALLY this far behind current technology? Is it really such a problem to pick up a DVD-ROM drive for $27 or even cheaper if you check local sale ads for deals with mail in rebates? Why don't people have DVD-ROM drives? I want more software to come on DVD's rather than the 4 CD's that Flight 2004 and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic... lets step into the 21st century people, GET A DVD-ROM!!!

Nope. Unless there is a sudden influx of general consumer software being distributed on DVD, I'll stick with my CD-RW. I've got a DVD player in my living room where I watch my DVDs.
