While a few are using the drive to access old material, I daily see adults and kids check out a DVD or CD, then sit down and watch/listen (with earbuds) on a public computer. In 2016, we’ve had several dozen patrons who use public computers to open and view current medical diagnostic scans that their physician has provided to them only on a CD. Many patrons need easy access to connect USB devices (from memory sticks to Garmins, tablets, phones, and more), and everyone uses earbuds. While I like the idea of VESA-mounting an SFF unit to monitors, all these observed patron use cases tend to make me prefer a small or medium form factor, with a disc drive, that patrons can easily see and reach without reaching behind the monitor. Just a thought –<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Jessica D.
