I think your email raises the issue of perhaps questionable engineering 
and design policies at Apple.

For instance, I saw an Acer portable where you simple unscrew a small 
flap on the bottom and insert your memory there. I saw another portable 
where the drive is insalled much like the batter on the bottom of the 
titanium powerbook. And, I owned several Powerbooks with expansion bays.

So, I ask, why can't apple design the books so that these user swapable 
parts are easily swapped from the outside just like the ibook and 
tiBook batteries?

Wouldn't it be nice if the internal hd was really an expansion bay hd, 
if memory were slot loadable like a PC Card and if the CD/DVD drive 
were an expansion bay item so I could replace it with an extra hd. Some 
people may use that drive constantly, but I don't.

I think owning a tibook and ibook is a case of dissatisfied happiness...
