Where can I burn a CD?

Here’s the deal—my computer’s disc drive is dead, and I need to get some files burned onto a CD for a college assignment. To make matters worse, none of my friends are willing to help me out... So, does anyone know where I can actually go and pay someone to burn a disc for me? I haven't heard of anyone offering that as a service lately.

Thanks for the response.

If you're trying to pull this off for a college project, your best bet is just grabbing some chocolate and heading down to the campus IT department to ask the guys there for a little favor.
Instead of chocolate, you could always swap it out for whatever they’re actually into—maybe a couple of burgers or something. 🙂

Just grab a blank CD, burn whatever you need onto a thumb drive, and head over to any buddy of yours who still has a working disc drive... I mean, can't you just take it to a FedEx Office on a USB stick instead?

Man, our education system can be such a headache sometimes, especially when you're forced to lug around physical CDs just to satisfy some outdated formality, even though optical media feels like a total relic from another era; honestly, I’ve probably only touched one in the last eight years, maybe just once or twice while installing an OS, and at this point, the only real use for a CD is if you're working on some ancient legacy system in a basement somewhere.

And don't even get me started on how terrible the shelf life of generic optical media actually is, because it's kind of funny that a floppy disk might actually outlast them—I know this firsthand since my old 5.25-inch floppies still work perfectly after thirty years, while some of my old CDs have already given up the ghost.
