While a great solution, that can be such a daunting task for those with little spare time..

Embarrassed? Ha! I keep coming back to this thread but have glossed over most since the first few pages. Once again, I'm compelled to chime in.
I feel nothing but blessed for the opportunity to have such a fun toy. Embarrassed? For those feeling beholden to others' judgement, I struggle to find the words to describe the utter futility of the exercise. Love the here and now! Give no fucks! To the folks who conceived and built this amazing, goofy, high-tech, low-budget, driving machine, I remain just as thankful as the day I drove her off the lot. She's a hoot every time I crank her up! What else matters?

Gen 2 looks fine at stock ride height. But since it's also my track car I lowered it on coilovers immediately. Gen1 is IMO more busy to me, but each looks pretty great in its own right. My main gripe with both is the 2+2ness with the rear wheels shoved aft. They need to make a short-wheelbase 2-seat version... |

It's not interactive, you don't do anything more than change CDs and hit a button or two. (Actually, now that I think of it, you also need to click the thing to make it identify the CD so it populates artist name, song title, all that, which is again a single click because it's automatic.) It's something you can do while doing other stuff and the only deadlines are self-imposed. |

I'm not saying its not a good way to go, or that its not worth the investment in time (back-up to another source or you may have to cry again in the future), but I do believe it is a relatively involved process when all is said and done.. Maybe it is just because I am older, and seem to have very little free time these days..

I did it while also playing a video game on the same computer. I could do it in about half the time now with a 52x CD player versus the 32x I used then.

Hah, some of us hold on to the bitter end. It was almost impossible to find a decent case that still had a full width drive bay for an internal DVD drive on my last computer build about 18 months ago.
Forget save the manual, how about saving the physical media!

Yeah I'm mostly just being flippant. I still have a dvd drive kicking around here somewhere. I haven't seen it since I built my last desktop in 2013. It was just funny seeing people talking about CDs and such since I haven't used one in more than a decade. I remember when CDs started getting popular in the consumer market in the 80's and how it was such a mind blowing technology. Now the whole idea seems quaint. |

My PC for sim rig doesn't have any drive for physical media either. I'm currently on my 3rd laptop for work (we get a new one every 3 years) no one them had an optical drive either.

Speaking of video games, I think the last game I bought that came on disk was probably around 2004 before Valve's Steam service really started picking up. I remember people getting into what basically amounted to school yard fights over blu-ray vs hd-dvd and feeling like they were arguing over the fastest antique car in the junkyard. Now that ODEs are quickly becoming ubiquitous I really need to take stock of my retro optical disk software and probably send it down the road before the market pricing takes a hit. |
