@Thorvald: If I used dial up internet, it would be a pain for it to load. I almost forgot that there's external Cd drives with a usb port, and I found some from Amazon.

Whenever I get a dvd or something 💿
I'm thinking of getting some dvds, then rip them and post the original file to the internet archive. I have a Cd bag too, so I'll put the dvds in there.
(I say a dvd player since my laptop doesn't have a cd drive, which is lame imo)

@N0-11: I'm assuming your laptop is an ultralight? Floppies' extinction was understandable, but CD drives are one of those features I would think should remain standard for at least a few more decades... D:
@Thorvald: Yeah, but tech companies always make brain dead "upgrades" for their stuff.
I just need a usb disc drive still, because of coarse I have to. 😑
@N0-11: That reminds me of something I heard maybe a decade ago that car companies had accumulated so many features, in order to justify new models they started cutting them.
@Thorvald: Cutting features just sound like a horrible idea, imo.
@N0-11: To quote that one episode of ReBoot Abridged (RIP):
"Where are the brakes?!"
"General Motors had to cut back on standard features in their vehicles due to the recession."
Oh yeah, remember when buying software at the store gave you a physical disk and not just a download code for [insert cloud service here]? Tech stores used to have whole shelves devoted to printed manuals... I can't imagine how a neophyte would use a computer these days on dial-up, let alone no Internet at all.
