[Ti] Reasons to NOT buy 15" 867 MHz or 1Ghz Titanium?

[Chris Scott]

Rod:

Thank you very much for the detailed comments.

I'm going to purchase the unit with the combo 
drive and am trying to figure out how to get 
portable, dependable DVD capabilities.   Could 
you please tell us more about the "external 
firewire case and [the] Pioneer 4XDVD drive"? 
Where?  How much?  How does it work for you?  Etc.

Thanks.
