The end of Optical Drives may have been slightly prematurely predicted, but the writing is certainly on the wall, as they say… I have a couple of new drives stockpiled to hopefully cover my future needs, and a collection of older SATA and IDE drives I will add to from old PCs that get left at my Store. I imagine that the end of Windows 10 support will result in more people turning over older machines.

On another topic, I have slowly working on putting together my DOS & Windows 98 gaming PC, the most recent step has been figuring out the most appropriate spray-paint to cover a 3D-printed bezel, and to take care of covering some spots on the case - this Vogons thread was quite helpful.

I’ll be buying a couple of different options (this one, and this one), hopefully one of these will be a good match!
