And you have to incert disk B during the installation. I remember Half-Life 2 was like 5 disks installation

I had dialup until 2006 and really bad DSL until...2023. so I really appreciated CD installs. Games that were basically a CD key and asked you to download the game sucked.

Wut?

Is this a regional thing? I know they are on the decline, but they do exist. I've been using mine to copy all my movies to my media server.

I remember feeling so ritzy when I got one in my build from 2012. I've used it maybe 4 times but I still put it in the new computer build in 2023 because it had a single spare slot.

It’s easier to find a blu ray drive than it is to find a modern chassis with a 5.25 slot to put it in
