Yes! I've seen that comment in a TV comedy. The woman said she liked the cup holder in her new computer. "I just push the button, and the cup holder slides out!"
Me too! In fact I never use a CD/DVD drive to play music or movies. I use a stand alone unit connected to a TV and stereo system for that.
I used to listen to audio CDs on the computer, until I loaded iTunes and ripped all 350+CDs to the hard drive. I can put the laptop near the stereo and plug in an AUX in cable. I used to have a 5 disc CD changer, but it died YEARS ago, never replaced it.
Never explain a joke!! I had a girl friend in the 11th grade who was pretty nice. I told her a joke once and she didn't laugh. I shrugged it off. Three weeks later we were walking down the street and she started laughing. She finally got the joke.
