DVD drive is too much extra? Dude, I got a new computer for 400 bucks that has a CD-R drive and a DVD drive as standard stuff... And that was a year ago.

My father is a steriotypical jew when it comes to money. The computer we had at the time was a tad old. We've got a new one since then, which has been hit by an oddly-specific DVD targeting virus.

... Are you sure those even exist? I didn't know there WAS such a thing as a DVD targeting virus...

I have no idea. Thats just a theory. All I know is it says we've got it, but when I put a DVD in all I get is the Blue Screen of Death.

Could be driver incompatabilities.

...

I say that, but my approach to solving problems with my computer is to just keep fiddling with stuff till it works :P

My family is technologically impaired. They believe in VHS's, and that DVD's are some stupid newfangled fad that won't last. So the only DVD player I have access to is my Xbox.

Heh, mine are the exact opposite. When they finally beat their poor DVD player to death by overuse, they confiscated my PS2....

Me and Notty must be related.

You see, once they stole... er... "conficated" a graphics card, so they could play Doom 3.

Mine are a little too far onto the other end. They managed to acquire a projector screen a few months ago, and now they won't watch movies or play video games on anything else...

my grandparents wouldn't get cable or satelite for the longest time. while growing up I had a choice of channels 4,5,7,11, and 13. finally they got a satelite dish and now my grandfather will spend an hour flipping through the menue (full screen mind you) looking for something to watch.

He also believes that all computer games have tons of viruses on the disc, and if you ever install a PC game on your computer, it will wreak havoc and kill said computer.
