But where's the COMBO drive?! Is it so much to ask? I want internal DVD and CD-RW. I dare not hope for DVD-R/CD-RW. But I can dream...<br><br>

Well, squeezing a combo drive in a space that small and without too much heat, not to mention in a slot-loading config is not nearly impossible, but I imagine still a bit impractical at this point. 'Tis a shame because they would never be able to keep up with demand if it did have that option.<br><br>

I agree. if the TiBook has a combo drive... there would be no one left to buy the PowerMac's either. Why, when you can get a computer with a built in monitor that's that big for less than a PowerMac plus Apple Flat Panel?<br><br><br><br>
