BLEEP!  <Smacks head!>  I think you're right.  I can't believe I didn't see
this, as just yesterday I was predicting optical drives disappearing in the
future.

I also thought the point in another message about simply taking it into the
Apple Store to install the software was interesting.  Disturbing, but
interesting.

I still think the MacBook Air will be a flop, but that doesn't mean it isn't
a sign of the future.
