other games.
DVD driver are becoming the standard but they are not THE standard yet

lmao I still have an external 5.25 floppy drive from an atari pc. hell, I
still have the entire atari 64 and 800 systems..lol and a working 486 pc
with dos 6 and a 300baud modem...lmao.. .
How times have changed.
As for this Toca game.. I downloaded the demo and its not to my liking.
Graphics are great but game play feels more like an arcade game. The
ps2/xbox gamers may like it.
DvD-roms seem like the wave of the future, but not yet. Give it another year
or so and the plain old cd-rom will fade out like the floppy drive has.
I distinctly remember paying $400 (that's not a typo) for the original Atari
computer floppy drive. I think that it was Model 850?
Lotsa money back then, but it brought lotsa fun with it.

Can you even buy a new PC these days without a DVD drive in it?
I still miss my old 8086 with a 30 Meg HD, 5.25 drive, 640K Ram and monochrome
monitor. It ran at a blazing 4.7mHz. And that PC speaker really rocked. NOT!

Don't compare apples to oranges, two different things that do not cost the
same
While I do not agree with calling him sad for not having a DVD Drive, using
a DVD Burner as an example does not pertain to this.
I also have to wonder, pc gamers can pay 5x (sometimes up to 8x to 10x more)
the amount of a DVD drive for a Graphics Card but then complain about the
cost of a DVD drive? Especially when the DVD drive is a general use item
that will be used for many things other than loading a game that they bought
