I have a G4 Quicksilver 733 Mhz, which I have upgraded quite a bit.
The basic "off the shelf" machine that I bought in January 2002 had a
CD read/write drive, a 40 GB HD and 128 MB RAM.
No special order, not an education machine etc.

With the exception of a handful of users (like yourself ;-), the

DVD playback).
My wife has a bunch of machines in her lab, "Quicksilver"
PowerMac
G4s from 2002, that I think were stock configurations, that do not
have DVD
playback. I did not think that we ordered them BTO without DVD, but

we did to save some money. Fortunately "target disc mode" allowed us
to
install Tiger without too much trouble.
I suspect they were BTO. It seems odd that 2002 pro machines would
come without a DVD reader.
