iBook CD-RW not CD-ROM
I really can't understand why Apple uses the CD-ROM instead of a CD-RW for the lowend iBook. Price might be the reason but having a CD-RW is far more useful. To make up for the 66 MHz bus and small hard drive out of the box, a CD-RW would be great. And if it's not standard, they should at least make it an option. What I'd like to see for the lowend iBook's next rev.

Or so they think.
Kind of goes against the "build up market share" philosophy, but who really knows.
1) Lower cost of entry.
2) Incentive to buy 3rd party FireWire CD-RW drives
3) Incentive to select the Combo drive model
Ahhh, but this is Apple and they don't seem to care about market share.
<strong>What about the fact that Apple again is not making a quarterly profit based on sales, but on waning investments?</strong><hr></blockquote>
How's that?
