Rated 5 out of 5 by PB&J from Old dog learning new tricks Wow you really know how to pack your product. Arrived is excellent condition. I don't have much experience with computers so did not know or realize that they don't have any place to insert a disc like my old one computer these days. I have a lot of disc, so this was something I had to have. AND it works. Smooth operation when you press the tiny button to open it and doesn't make a lot of noise when running, just enough to know that is actually doing something. It looks like a regular CD case very slim and does not take up much room on my desk. Also, a shout out to the excellent help from you associate who helped me with this purchase.
