The difference is small to notice. I'm behind a keyboard all the working
days long and my performance is pretty irrelevant with the reasons our
customers want to trade with the house. The selling team promises a lot,
far more than really provided, so there is a lot of fakes but as long as
the customer is happy, nobody cares.

Yep, that's a longer story, but I needed the money of the job.

Arguably, that fits the definition of "not working fine" - if the DVD
drive is faulty, then a warranty claim is appropriate. :)

It depends on your point of view. If what you bought it for was to
connect it to a car's ECU. Then it is working fine.
If you bought it to watch video's in a war zone. Then you bought a
ticket to see the Egress. ;-)
But all is revelled. Serge phoned the shop he bought it from and the DVD
reader is actually a CD ROM reader.
My only excuse is that when he came round he has some extra strength
tobacco. ;-) ;-)
And it was black ink on black rubber.
And I've not seen a laptop with a CD instead of a DVD reader for so long
that I've skipped over that phase.
Andrew! Remember when DVD writers cost about £1000?

How have they solved the data-packing problem? 4.7 GB on a small plastic
disk is clearly beyond our technical abilities.
