PowerBook G4 Combo DVD/CD-RW Kit Available

for $299 according to this Apple FAQ. The kit will be available 1/14-3/30. Unfortunately, it will only be available for 550/667 MHz models (Rev.B). Those of us with the Rev.A 400/500 MHz models will have to continue to use an external CD-RW drive. This is fine with us since we already have a slim external VST CD-RW that we never use on the road anyway. The combo drive keeps Apple even with optical drive offerings of Wintel laptops.

Which Operating Systems are Used to Visit Macs Only!? Here is a comparison of the computer operating systems of those visiting Macs Only! While our web logs distinguish among versions of Windows, they do not do so for Mac OS's. We have chosen to lump all windows OSs. It is surprising to us that so many visitors use a version of Windows. It must be that they are mostly Mac users who are sentenced to use a Wintel at work. The "others" category consists almost completely of various versions of Unix. Curiously, Wintel OS's increased by 2 per cent.
