I am saying that OD are getting cheaper, smaller(3.5in drives), & faster 
& most of all its writable ! I see CD-ROM as a interim solution until 
OD technology matures. As a Slab user $500 for a slow, read only drive 
doesn't sound too good. Not that CD-ROM doesn't have its advantages but
I'd much rather see NeXT devote its energies to bringing us the next 
generation Read Write Optical Disk Drive.
