Management companies don’t
need a CD-ROM (or CD Reader) in every workstation any longer. CD’s are only used to load programs, play
music, or boot up in an emergency. Use a stereo to play your music. Workstations
can use any CD on the network (if it is marked as “shared”) to load
programs. Motherboards can now boot up
from a USB device. A USB CD-ROM or USB hard drive can be the
emergency boot device for many
workstations. See also DVD
players.

to do with those old AOL CD’s that arrive unsolicited in your mailbox, then
