"You Can't Even Watch DVDs"

I just need to get something off my chest. Ever since August, and the purchase of my MacBook Air the number one comment that I’ve had has been:

“Is that the one without a CD drive? Why did you get that? You can’t even watch DVDs”.

Yes, how observant of you. Have a cookie. If I wanted to watch DVDs on my computer I would have made a sensible move and purchased a computer that has an optical drive. I didn’t buy the computer unaware that it didn’t include one. Please don’t insult my intelligence by assuming such things. There’s a lot more to using a computer than watching movies.

iTunes. iTunes. iTunes. I buy my music from iTunes, I buy television shows from iTunes, I rent and buy movies; from iTunes. Problem solved. Move on.

That is all.

    HAHA! So true! I get this all the time with my normal MacBook about the price compared to others. I bought it for the OS and the design. Simple.

    I know I love watching you explain to them, it makes me laugh.

    I rip all my DVDs on my iMac. If I had the money, I’d buy a MacBook Air in a heartbeat. There is nothing about it that I think is wrong.

    Well, maybe another USB port :)
