Who needs to sail the high seas when your local library has a great set of blu-ray and dvd and you can rip it just like you like it! I love having the commentary and extras too.

I was an early adopter of a cd burner but I still found Zip drives to be way better for casual storage. CDrs were great for audio cds or video cds, but cd-rws were slow and painful. Zips were great for quick storage where you didn’t have to think about filling up a cd permanently.

Plus you get commentaries and bonus features.
