actually I do use my optical drive all the time. I routinely burn dvds. Just this weekend I needed to fix a video piece for the g/f's art installation. I popped in the original dvd, ripped the video, sucked it into finalcut, made some quick edits, moved it to dvd studio pro, then burned a new looping dvd sans menus. All on my macbook pro.
The air is beautiful, but for now I need more of a swiss army knife computer and more horsepower than this machine has, but for travel and basic work - about as good as it can get.
The big transition here is the gesture trackpad. There are iPhone-style gestures now built into it. Look for the next generations to expand on this. Right now though I want them to fix an annoying Leopard/Aperture bug...
