          people don't care enough about optical disks to even respond,

        I must have missed this and deleted it
          by mistake.  

          
          I had something weird happen when F23 was the latest release. 
          Somehow, probably through user error, I deleted my partition
          table and bricked my only USB stick.  I think I corrupted the
          USB stick firmware somehow.  I have only one computer so using
          another to get another copy wasn't an option.  I did have a
          back up Fedora DVD because an earlier experience in life when
          I found myself without an OS and a broken installation.  

          
        I think that having a read only media
          option with physical damage as the only failure mode is
          valuable.  I continue to keep a Fedora DVD even though I
          prefer installing through USB.

        
    I prefer to install from DVD. By far.  And it's always nice to give
    away DVDs to classmates or colleagues, or in release parties, FAD,
    etc. 

    My thoughts.

    
    Cheers,

    Sylvia
