The Physical CD or the CD-R as well know to call it is long dead. It has been replaced by the new age DVD's and the DVD-RW's, which in the future will be replaced by Blu-Ray, etc. However the market for external discs is not dead, though Broadband has penetrated the masses and though P2P, etc have evolved, and though online storage promises to be bigger and better with the coming of free GB players and the so-called coming soon G-Drive!
The Discs will be alive for a long-time. Mostly until Broadband penetrates the real masses and until the web becomes the true home eliminating the need for a oS.
