[doublepost=1457091024][/doublepost]Apple has sold machines without optical drives for 5 years. And physical media is dying anyway, while streaming is exploding and has been for years now, but am not sure why you are mixing the discussion of physical media on computers with that on TVs?
Never, I don't even know what stores those are.
But you do know that things go on sale when they can't sell them at regular prices? Most stuff people want to see is on streaming services, which is MUCH cheaper than stockpiling DVDs, and MUCH more convenient. So yeah, get real.
To REALLY appreciate Apple, lend your iMac to a struggling graphic design stuent for a year, and try to survive using Windows PCs There is a logic and sense about iMacs that relly works for me - eg saving to a folder on desktop is SOOO simple, logical and effective. Also it is easy to contact real people for real help. i never managed that even once with Windows, especially Windows 10
BUT I do agree with the 'religion' quote. There is a tiny number of Apple fanatics who rush around like the proverbial junk yard dogs or the Keepers of the Holy Grail, if anyone dares say a word of criticism of some aspect. They are invariably responded to by the vast majority of balanced grown up Apple owners. What the hotheads need to learn is that there are users with defective eyesight, newcomers, switchers from Windows, all finding their way around. For myself, I personally worked on and even ran large computer installtions but teeny weeny PCs sometimes give me greater difficulties than the big stuff ever did. Which is why I rejoice at being able to ask perhaps stupid questions on the Forums and get mostly sincere professional responses. So there !!1
