For me it's not so convenient. I have to go into the workshop, turn on the PC and wait 2 minutes for it to boot up and connect to the network. Then there's the time spent copying all those CDs, more precious space used up on the PC's hard drive, and finally I would miss out on the 'retro' experience of working with physical CDs (the most important part!).

I also have doubts as to how well this would work with bootable CDs, and it obviously won't work with audio CDs. Not the ideal solution for those of us who want to do all the things we used to do when we had a CDROM drive on our Amiga.
