[G4] DVD+R/+RW

Yes, Yamaha is exiting the optical drive business. Since they were 
always at a price premium compared to other manufacturers, it's not 
surprising. You have to have some edge (like Apple) if you want to 
charge more for your product. I never saw what Yamaha had that 
constituted an edge.
