That's putting it mildly.

Actually there's quite a lot of houses now, but most are far enough off the
road to not be noticed. You got trees, trees, more trees, and a flat possum
or dog every once in awhile.  I've seen darn near every kind of wildlife
that lives around here too, but most are smarter than possums or dogs, so
aren't flat.

Optical, just bought about a month ago -- very odd. I put a cheapie optical
on and it works flawlessly -- go figure.

So far all my software works. (all that I need as a desktop anyway.)
