No, my pc doesn’t have an internal optical drive…. But doesn’t everyone have a usb portable drive?

Who isn't keeping multiple vintage pcs? I keep a core2 system with a floppy and disc drives to deal with old media. It even has parralel and serial ports in case I need to deal with old hardware like zip drives. It has internal sata so it can boot from an ssd.

I used to have a USB floppy drive too. Now I just have disk images.
