Just one more personal opinion, but I used to own a laptop that required
me to swap out the CD for the floppy drive. Then I switched to my current
TP380z which has "triple-spindle" (HD, CD & floppy all at the same time).
I would **NEVER** consider going back to a laptop that doesn't offer all
three drives at the same time, EVER!!!
There are certain things I wanted to do (like install OS/2) that required
the CD and Floppy be available at the same time. You just couldn't do it
if you had to swap back and forth.
