Thursday 7:30pm June 25 Room 230 - Tanner Building CDs and DVDs are so 1990s: Getting rid of the optical media in your life presented by: Andrew McNabb
Who in their right mind would spin a thin piece of plastic at 26000 RPM? Not only are optical disks loud, slow, and inefficient, but damaged disks can even explode (see Mythbusters). Fortunately, CDs and DVDs are becoming unnecessary. Install Linux from a thumb drive or network instead of downloading and burning disk images. Import your music and movies to your hard drive and put your disks in the closet. Back up your data to bare hard drives instead of unreliable optical disks. Learn how to live without optical media and share your experiences with the rest of the group.
