A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.

I'm baffled at how many people here still burn cds.....
I loved DVD-RAM. I could just mount them in Linux and copy backups on it. They are even reusable, like you could just delete a super old backup and put a new one on it. I think I stopped using them, because of capacity.

If we include DVDs I probably put a Linux distro iso on one in 2010 or 2011. CDs? Maybe a CD I made for a road trip on 2009 or 2010.
I didn't know it was the last time, and I don't know when exactly it was, but I do know what it was that I burnt:
A Linux install CD

It was Armin Van Buuren's Intense. Burned it for a road trip.
I don't burn CDs, I buy music on pre-owned CDs (Best Of albums, etc.) and rip them to my computer. Cheaper than some of the online music stores where you download the music files.

i sure was fucking hoping it was though
I had to do it last year so my school would let me listen to music during tests. Had to be on a burned cd so they could review it for cheating. I'm just lucky I still put a disc-drive in my pc builds.
It was only a few years ago, when I ran off some Dreamcast games.
I doubt it. Although, I imagine I may have recorded over my last tape.
