I remember my very fist computer. I was twelve years old. The computer
was a Wang 386 PC. I was amazed at the fact that you could put a cd in
it and view pictures and information. Back then you put the CD-ROMs in
a square holder, and inserted that into the computer.

Actually, the first CD reader I had on a Mac had the same constraint, that 
you had to place the CD into a special carrier and then insert the carrier 
into the CD reader/writer.

I still own an external CD drive like that. I haven't used it in many
many years. Doubt I could get it to work with a newer Mac ... it's SCSI
if I remember correctly. It'd downstairs in the bone yard.

I have or had one one of these but a CD burner too. It came with 
two styles of carrier. I also have a more normal external scsi cd 
reader. Very slow but comes in handy to feed a 7600 which is 
stripped down without one inside.
