[CUBE] Slot Load DVD-RW Drives From MCE

[Bill Fox]

Let's try to remember that the $499 price that a couple of people have 
objected to is for the drive, installation in a TiBook and return 
shipping plus it's currently the only source. If someone sells one for 
self installation in the Cube or iMac or TiBook, it's likely to be less 
by at least $125. It wasn't so long ago that any DVD burner cost nearly 
$1000 so Jesse's strategy of waiting patiently for his personal price 
point pays off.
