Ditto that.  Haven't needed one either.  And on my Sony mini laptop I have
only used the external DVD drive about 5 times, since owning the laptop for
5 years.  With wireless, wired network and large USB drives I have easier
ways of getting stuff on it.  And once the major applications are installed
I don't change it much, anything new added is normally a download anyway.

If we are being 'purest' and using FLOSS applications they are all downloads
anyway :-)
