Well, that's still not the same thing as being forced to pay attention to it. I have my main computer sitting in the study, and I have a laptop that I use in the living room if I want to have a computer nearby while I'm watching a movie. Neither of my machines has a DVD-ROM drive, though at times I'd like my laptop to have one. (Not that I'm going to blow the $350 to get one, either; at that point, I'd just get a laptop that already had one.) I also sit in the living room while my sister and her boyfriend use my TV and DVD player, ignoring whatever they're watching, because the loveseat is a lot more comfortable than my computer chair.
