Hello, Kris,
I did not say: "I do not have a DVD drive." All I said is what is said in my
other e-mail, so go read them for yourself! I am not being negative. It is a
solid fact! You, Kris, will understand why later. The truth is that more and
more people have DVDs, yes. Again, you will find out for yourself later. Yes,
I do have a DVD drive here!
Thank you.
