    What has that to do with the fact that somebody wants my money but is not going to get it unless they offer me something I actually want to buy?

    Somebody can make a laptop with no optical drive.

    Nobody can force me to purchase such a laptop.

    Any questions?

  3. You've never actually seen much less used a circular saw, have you?

    But at least they don't have to pay taxes sufficient to support a good public school system. I'm sure that's a huge relief.
