> only thing that interested me in the 600 series is the long-promised
> option of a DVD drive. I've got a DVD player and a library of about 60
> movies, and the option of watching some of them on a nice 13" display
> while I'm on the road is appealing. But the drive was promised in
> June, and nothing has been said since.
> Now I'm hearing inklings that Toshiba is coming out with a slimline
> DVD drive for the Tecra 8000 models in October, and I can't imagine
> IBM being far behind those guys. Has anyone heard anything about a
> DVD-ROM for the UltraSlimBay finally making the scene?
