And as I'd hoped, the 15" now has a dual-layer 6x DVD burner and a Firewire
800 port.  Shame it still doesn't have the magnetic front latch of it's
little brother though.
It's also a pity the 200GB disk is only 4200rpm.  Oh well, we're slowly
getting there.   :-)

(what am I complaining about?  Compared to the "mother of all thermal
challenges" of shoe-horning a G5 into a laptop, the current pace of
development is a different world to the ole G4 stagnation.  :-)
