really?  Data?  Why the big emphasis on iTunes?  A/V is not only optical you 
know.   More people still use computers for A/V than use an Apple TV.

I stand by my statement that it would have been nice to offer a variant of the 
mini with an optical disc device this time around.  Introduce the mini without 
but have a variant with for the "luddites" who still use optical (which I bet 
is still a rather large majority of people).  Broadband in the US is not 
everywhere or fast.  Not everyone wants to "rent" media. Some like to buy.  And 
that "some" is probably larger than the group is streams significantly (still). 
  I do agree that the change will happen, but it has not happened yet I wager 
(while physical media sales are down, are they down over 50%?)
