   I’ve never understood the idea of not keeping the physical media, given that there are several ways anything stored on a computer can be wiped out.

   And don’t get me started on movies/TV on streaming services.

    In the episode where he’s a hip swinger he find himself in this very boring, middle class, suburban living room, and he is beset by a couple who wants to show him slides of their vacation. When the devil shows up, he says he’s ready to go to his final destination (he thinks he’s in some sort of waiting room), only to be informed that this IS his final destination. The devil then notes that there a room just like this in heaven, because, to each their own.
