Hah. Sadly, there have been people who thought their CD trays
were, indeed, coffee cup holders. I didn't believe this could be
possible, but I know a guy who works for Dell tech support in Canada
and he encountered this a couple of times over the years.

Because with slot-loaded drives, you don't get that neat new 52x

Slot loading drives are brilliant. First of all, everyone should
remember that car stereos have been using the same design for years
and years and you rarely hear about anyone having issues with
those. I suspect car CD players get a lot more wear and tear than
computer CD drives...at least overall. I've known people in the
past who have been careless and accidently busted their CD drive
drawer when it was sticking out of their computer...both laptop and
desktop varieties. The space saved and reliability and
minimization of risk of breakage afforded by slot loading drives is
a wonderful thing, in my opinion, and I don't understand for the
life of me why few, if any, PC laptop makers have followed suit.
