[CUBE] We NEED Slotload SuperDrives NOW!

[Thubten Kunga]

OK. My bad. But I honestly believe that not many Cube owners want Combo 
drives. Maybe I'm wrong. It only costs about $130 to have an external 
40x12x48x CD-RW in a 1394 box. I can't see many paying twice as much 
just to have a much slower one inside. I don't see the economic 
motivation for much of a market.

I'm not trying to discourage anyone from doing anything. I'm simply 
providing my point of view. I guess I am just too obnoxious for some of 
you. I like to deliver my opinion with a lot of panache. Too much 
panache I guess. My apologies to those I have offended.
