I had thought they meant a storage drive, but they actually are talking about DVD drives as well!
Do you think that is a little over the top?

I have a mac mini with no drive. My previous MBP had one and I rarely used it. I have an external which I had bought to go with my netbook, but I rarely use it.
I think the 13" macbook Pro is the only Mac left with a superdrive. Apple make an external one (I have a Sony) which is an optional extra. I download nearly all I want, most software companies offer a downloadable version rather than a boxed copy. I nearly never buy a DVD or CD for anything, not even music anymore. I've already transferred almost all my old CDs to computer. They just arent needed. If I have to move stuff from A to B, or store it for future reference, it will go on a USB flash drive, an external HD or a portable HD. The day of the CD or DVD is nearly over.
