:-) 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?

Not 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!
