It's like they had levels in 'annoy geek' or something. Trash put inside the machine. Crisp bags. Lollipop sticks. WTF.

and here I was feeling guilty that mine was probably *dusty* as all get-out.

Dust is not good, but it doesn't have that same level of pure ignorant malice. Dust accumulates naturally. Underwear does not.

Note to user: the little pop-out tray is a CD-ROM or similar. It is not a retractable cupholder. It is most CERTAINLY not a trash compactor.

We don't have CD drives. At all. Any form of removable or insertable media drive is unnecessary for the job function of the phone goons, and would encourage breaking or attempts to crack.

The only thing close to that is the USB ports, which will read drives similar to the Loony Stick. And from what I hear from the Plaid Tech, they're really hard to disable short of hot-glue, unplugging on the inside, or something else at a hardware level.

Instead of a CD drive, there's either a port that a drive will slide into (on the HP boxen) or a blank plastic piece fitting over the hole where the drive would have been (Dell). And this gets ... played with.
