If as you say, optical drives go the way of the Dodo, what will you do if
whatever opperating system die? If whare as of now, you can install off of a
DVD, what will you do when you don't have that anymore? If your only
computer whent crash, you're truely screwed!

Subject: Re: Digital Distribution, was Re: macbook pro or macbook air?
I have to agree with Ricardo. There are risks no matter what form of
commerce you engage in, but digital commerce is generally more secure and
efficient. APple would not have gone in this direction if it was not a
benefit to them and their customers.
Sony screwed themselves and in all fairness and as I have always said, any
computer connected to a network is subject to being hacked. The issue is
really being on top of your systems and always watching for these issues.
THis does apply to companies as well as individuals.

For most, the convenience will out weigh the risk. There will always be
security risks. This doesn't stop most of us from using credit cards?
And digital music downloads has already passed CD sales. So, the writing
is already on the wall.

Hey. Ricardo said he following statement.
Yeah but optical drives are going the way of the dinosaur. We have
iTunes, amazon, netflix, and other sources to obtain media content. You
want an app, just download it from the web or the Mac app store. Don't be
surprised in 2 years, if all macbooks follow the air and get rid of their
optical drives.
I don't think digital distribution will take over CD's or DVD's just yet.
I know most of you don't play video games, but if you heard it on the
radio, you'd know that Sony's Playstation Network has been down for the
past month. As it was down, people were concerned about identity thef,
because the reason why it was down is because someone hacked into the
network. So if you ask me, it'll take more than 2 years for digital
distribution to take effect. I wouldn't be surprised if someone hacks
into Itunes or the App Store.
