Sheesh, guys if you don't have enough money to buy a CD-ROM then how/why
are you Apple developers?  (VERY TOUNGE IN CHEEK)...

Seriously, have you tried to go by an Apple Dealer?  They ought to have a
CD-ROM in stock since most of the information that they get is on CD from
Apple as well.  I always try to build a good relationship with a local dealer
so that I can do things like this.  Give it a try.  Other than that, save
a bit of money, the player price is getting cheaper, certainly less than
a hard drive.
