Even when I get a disc for software, I it copy to a folder on my hard drive called disc images. I've seen so many of my customers misplaced or even let them lay around and get scratched up. Also guilty of that myself. I've even left (I think) a cd in a drive and then threw away the computer. Who needs a disc when you can download the latest version quickly (as long as you don't have just dial up). Even when I had dial up I had friends with high speed connections where I could get stuff downloaded and copied to a usb drive or burned to a cd.
