An excellent point.

Though I must admit that I bought my 700 Mhz G3 iBook with CD-ROM 
because it was efficient and different.  it was the reason why I bought 
the 900 Mhz G3 iBook with Combo drive for more office work and 
functionality.

By the way, I shut off my iBooks when not in use and I keep my 700Mhz 
G3 iBook with me always.
