I don't really know how it happened.
All our dvd drives had broken down in the course of a couple of months and it wasn't until I actually wanted to watch something that I realised we were optical-disk-drive-less
So I hopped on a well-known buy-and-sell website to find a second-hand dvd player or, preferably, external dvd drive that could be connected to a computer via usb.
A few hours later and I found myself the owner of a second-hand mac mini
Like I said, I don't know how it happened
