Many laptops have CD only and a DVD drive for one of those may exceed the value of the laptop, if you can get one at all. $25 (or $37) can add up even on desktop machines, if you have several and must spend X amount of time tearing each one apart to add a DVD drive to it. Doesn't bother me, though -- I just put it on my fileserver and boot from a CD and install from there. (None of my computers have a DVD drive either.) -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com
