Remember Apple burying the 5.25'' floppy, the 3.5'' floppy, and the CRT monitor? Today it is burying the optical disk. Is it?

Sure, my Toshiba Portégé has no optical disk either. And has not had one for years now. But it seems to be a difference when Steve Jobs is introducing an innovation ...

Think of a world where a discussion Blue-ray versus HD DVD won't matter any more - as everything is in the air/ online. Possible. Watch out for the new MacBook Air.

Do we need optical drives and Ethernet on our laptops?
