Will there still be CD/DVD players to read those discs in a couple
hundred years. My first computer used single sided single denisty 5.25"
floppies. Then there was the 3.5" 1.44 Meg floppies. My new lap top did
not come with a CD or DVD drive and when I bought the desktop I had to
look for one with a the CD/DVD drive.
