Hello Mark get a grip on reality First sales of the PBG4 are excelent so you argument that there is a limited market doesnt fly. there is only one short comming that i see and that it wasn't offered with a CD burner. and by all accounts it will shortly. It is so easy to critisize product development when you dont have to actually build one and get it to market. Some time one has to chose between getting the product out and anther 3- 6 months of developing additional options Apple doen't make the CD RWs that are in there machines and getting a third party to develop a super skinny one and have enough to meet demand has to be considered. I dont find the lack of bays to be a problem at all that what USB and Fire wire are for, to add easy buss powered drives etc . strucutal integrety is much more inportant and given the CD eject and batterey flex problems that there where one can see Apple streached the limit as it was. Rreally being a product and furniture designer I sorta had it with people not excepting that there is always a design trade off !!!!!! heat weight etc
