I agree. Apple did not start this particular trend. The advent of the netbooks, ultraportables and now the ultrabooks have created a trend that embodies the thought or concept that the optical drive is not anymore part/hardware we would need to carry around with our laptops. It does help though to have USB drives, internet storage, etc to offset that once in a bluemoon need to store or install something from a sharable media.

Nah... if I were old, I'd be pining for our old Coleco Telstar... but by the time I was old enough to play it, the thing was borked.
Thus the first gaming system we ever used was the Atari 2600 (original woodgrain, baby... not the later all-black ones), which is just two years younger than me...
My favorite classic computer of all time, though, has got to be the ColecoVision. Incredibly advanced for its time (all of the games were arcade cabinet ports) and with one of the best controllers ever, it offered games like "Space Fury", "Zaxxon" (we also had the board game), "Mousetrap" (great multi-layered strategy take on Pac-Man) and a little something known as "Donkey Kong"...
Even after it was surpassed by consoles like the Family Computer, the ColecoVision controller was unmatched for flexibility until Playstation released the "dualshock" controller.
(yeah, it's so radical, someone actually decided to paint it...)
